For Medical Mayhem, it's the left side.
The different types of positions for a physical examination include supine (on the back), prone (on the stomach), sitting, standing, lithotomy (on the back with knees bent and feet in stirrups), and lateral recumbent (on the side). Each position allows for examination of specific body parts and systems.
In surgery, the right lateral position is when the patient is lying on their right side, with the left arm and knee supported to maintain body alignments. This is used when access to the patient's left side or left lateral aspect of the back is required.
Sims' (lateral) is used for vaginal or rectal examination, for obtaining a rectal temperature, for sigmoidoscopy, or for administering an enema.
