Overington (1977) states that dramatism essentially dictates how people explain their actions to themselves and others, while taking into account the cultural and social context of these actions. How this dramatism is used to interpret the scene of the doctor giving a gynecological examination to a patient is the topic of this essay. Discussion Therefore, Burke's pentad, according to Shearer (2004), give a heuristic framework that we may use to interpret actions. On the surface, then, the picture displays an agent, who is the gynecologist, who is making the action of performing a gynecological examination on a patient, the purpose is to ascertain if the patient has some kind of gynecological issue that would necessitate treatment, the scene is the gynecological office, and the agency is the action of using a speculum to probe the inside of the patient's genitals. This is what is on the surface of the picture. That said, there are other underlying counterthemes that can be brought out of this picture. Emerson (2008), for instance, maintains that a gynecological examination is unique, in that it brings the private into the public. Emerson (2008) states that, with the case of gynecological examinations, the actors are virtually the same throughout different gynecological examinations with different women – the doctor and the staff who must be present, if the doctor is a male. The setting is usually the same throughout the different gynecological examinations – they take place in some kind of medical setting. The acts are the same, and the agency is the same throughout. What is at question, and why the patient might be apprehensive, is the purpose of the act. There must be a reassurance that the doctor does not see the act as being sexual in any way. The purpose must be medical in nature, and not sexual. This, perhaps, sets the act of a gynecological examination apart from other medical procedures, for there are no other medical procedures that have underlying sexual connotations. The medical world, according to Emerson (2008), must be reassuring to the patient that the genitals are just like any other part of the body, and that they treat the genitals as such. Just as there is not necessarily something sexual about, say, removing a patient's appendix, then the examination of a woman's genitals must be assured to have the same degree of non-sexuality. Emerson (2008) maintains that this level of professionalism, and treating the woman as mere objects, are necessary in the context of the gynecological examination – if there is any kind of hint that this is not the case, that the woman is somehow seen as a sexual object, then what is happening to the woman would be an affront to her dignity. It would be, in essence, a battery upon her. This is why the medical definition of what they are doing, the purpose of what they are doing, is so important – the act must have some kind of medical purpose and definition, otherwise the act is purely a sexual one. Therefore, the patient must accept the medical definition of what is occurring. If not for the medical definition, the patient would not have her dignity. If not for the medical definition, the staff would not be able to get the patient to cooperate (Emerson, 2008). Hopfl (2002) would refer to the attitude of the doctor and the staff to professional competence, and this is compared to both actors and whores.
