Touched inappropriately on her first gyno exam

My wife was touched inappropriately on her first gyno exam, young and naive she had no idea what should or shouldn’t happen.Anyone else had this happen?

How/ where was she touched in aappropriately?

He touched her clitoris unnecessarily

The sad thing is, doctors are trained to not touch anyone's clit. So he knew exactly what he was doing. I feel like there are inappropriate doctors everywhere that just haven't been caught.

I agree ,they haven’t been caught!

Patients trust doctors, which allows doctors to do things that could seem medically necessary, while not actually being necessary.

They do trust Doctors but perhaps not as readily as in the past

Yup. I was. While I don’t think it’s common, at least for those of us who are a little older I think it was more common than people would like to believe

I think that when it was common for patients to get undressed and be examined, doctors could more easily disguise inappropriate touching. Now that patients rarely get undressed, and there is a hyper fixation on inappropriate sexual behavior, doctors have become very leary to even touch patients at all.

- i am very sorry to hear about your experience - only thinking about such practises makes me feel to vomit !! - but in my thoughts it wasn't possible nowadays - exception's maybe possible -, because the doctor's will risk their approbation, when it will be communnicated !! - and not only that, it is a criminal case, and so will arrested very soon !! - and that is, what they have to earn !!!

Nurse Philips. Your right,I think it happened more often years ago,Doctors seemed to have more power then an wouldn’t be questioned.

Did you not think of reporting it, at the time?

Playdoc gyno exams are one thing & I am aware there are lots of folk here who enjoy such things enormously including things like vaginal & rectal capacity testing clitoris sensitivity & orgasm response testing - the only limits seem the fevered imaginations of the play doctors & their willing patients BUT for a real life doctor to touch a patient improperly for his or her own gratification is a real no no. Should be struck off without doubt. 😡

I agree Alan

A and H. No, it never crossed her mind as she didn’t know what was supposed to happen in an exam,at the time she thought it was normal.
