Sorry it wasn’t clear, did mean shaking hands with opp. gender. I’m a doctor so it’s even more difficult to explain. (I’m not going to shake your hand, but now if you can take your shirt off so I can examine you!). I never really used to have a problem with it before I started working because it’s not so common anymore, but it seems unfortunately that now everyone wants to shake hands with their doctor. Thanks for the suggestions. I like the emailing/contacting in advance thing.
