Yep. Malpractice insurance in Texas requires that all male OB-GYNs have a female nurse present during every examination as a possible counter-witness, or they won't insure you. Some doctors just have the nurse there assisting, but my OB's office does this weird thing where the nurse will casually just happen to come in and stock supplies or straighten cabinets just at the right moment.
