Pediatricians that take advantage of their Power.

C'mon now. Let us not fall prey to the media fabricated fears of our times. Don't exaggerate with the scare mongering. As if people were in clear and present danger every time they set foot in a doctor's office or hospital. They most certainly are not.

Yet I was molested by a doctor as were several other people I know. Let's not dismiss people's actual experience.

I had my visit with the cardiologist last week. That's an annual thing due to the CABGx6 I had 27 years ago. At the bottom of the release papers it says "book your next appointment at your pediatrician's office"

HUH?

I'm 83, I never went to one in my life. I don't even think there was one in my town when I was young enough.

Yet I was molested by a doctor as were several other people I know. Let's not dismiss people's actual experience.

@Nurse_Phillips, how awful that your trust was so terribly broken by a doctor! Sadly, we hear of people who are in professions where trust is built in - teacher/clergy/youth leader/doctor - who disgustingly take advantage of their position. Those people are evil and are hunters. They gravitate to situations where there is prey.

I have been blessed that all my doctors were decent and caring. Heartbreaking that you experienced what you did

Not a pediatrician, but one of his nurses...

As a boy between the ages of 6 and 10 or so, I felt embarrassed: (1) by being naked from the waist down in front of the one of the nurses at our local clinic; (2) by the fact that she was the one who opened my pants and pulled them down (instead of asking me to do it), and (3) for injections, the length of time she kept me that way... with both my bare penis and hips in her full view.

Even then, especially in the case of a rectal temperature, with me lying on the table and crackling paper, it seemed like it would have made more sense to ask me to lower my own pants.

The way I remember it, I would be lying on my back, and the nurse would say, "I need to take your temperature." Her fingertips would go to my belt, unbuckle it, unzip me, and open my pants. Then, she'd ask me to turn onto my tummy. I'd comply, again to a crackle of the paper and a jingle from my belt (I'd move the buckle out of the way.) The nurse would tug on on my pants, slide them down, and then pull down my underwear to past my hips.

At the time, though I was embarrassed, I did like her hand on my hip, and the feeling of the Vaseline on my anus before the thermometer slid in.

With shots, I was usually standing, and this nurse would likewise unbuckle me (reaching around me to do this), unzip me, open up my pants and pull them down, and then slide my briefs down all the way to my knees. If I had on a shirt with tails, she'd lift it and have me hold it in place with my underarms.

So I would be standing there with my little bare cock and scrotum hanging out, and the cold air on my bottom, with the florescent lights humming overhead. It seemed to take forever.

And I would wonder why my penis had to be out. Why couldn't she just strip my pants down in back?

I also remember a few times, when I got a shot in the front, with the nurse having me lie on my back in the table, opening and sliding down my pants and my underwear ("Raise up...") until they were past my hips and penis, then giving me the injection in the crease between my lower belly and my thigh.

When I was younger, Mom would still be in the room while this was happening. As I got closer to 9 or 10, the nurse usually suggested that Mom leave the room, before she stripped me, and I'm not sure if that made me feel better or worse.

Each time, the nurse would take her time getting the alcohol and swabbing one of my hips, preparing the syringe, leaning in, "a little pinch, now," and giving me the injection... then leave me standing like that for a while as she disposed of the needle. She was in no hurry to tell me she was done, or that I could (finally) pull my pants up.

At the time, it did feel a little weird that this woman had the authority to take my clothes off and look at basically everything I'd been told I should not show anyone... and then keep me naked for such a long time. I felt like I didn't have any more say in this, than a baby would have. (The Playboy magazines I'd been sneaking a look at had made it clear to me that people sometimes stripped someone naked to humiliate them, and to feel power over that person.)

It didn't occur to me until years later that for that nurse, feeling "in control" might not have been the only reason that she liked to take boys' pants down... that she might actually have enjoyed what she was doing, for other reasons.

Yes, I believe that my Gp abused his power and overstepped legitimate medical exam procedures. As I've posted elsewhere, I underwent medical exams every 2 months from age 7 to 18 to "monitor" my early puberty. At every exam (which mum was in the room for until i was 16) I would have to strip naked as soon as I entered the room. He would then perform extensive exams of all my body, including taking detailled intimate measurements. This seems normal and acceptable. What seems dubious was the prolonged time he tool examining my genitals. I would always be painfully erect by the time he got to examining my genitals and he would spend a long time repeatedly retracting my foreskin while I was laying down, while fondling my testes and perineum; frequently resulting in me leaking precum. He's then repeat the exam with me standing and then on all-fours. This would quite often result in me ejaculating!! Not sure what was appropriate about that.. Also i have memories of pictures being taken, but no evidence of them on my records when i saw them after "discovering" my childhood abuse.

C'mon now. Let us not fall prey to the media fabricated fears of our times. Don't exaggerate with the scare mongering. As if people were in clear and present danger every time they set foot in a doctor's office or hospital. They most certainly are not.

here in the US, Is almost a daily thing. physicians and or medical staff sexually abusing their patients. Is not me who says it is the news.

I live in the US and read the news channels every day. There’s a lot of coverage of sexual assaults, but I don’t see a lot of medical sexual abuse articles, certainly not daily or even weekly. . When there is one, it does get extensive coverage.

Not saying it doesn’t happen, and it’s a terrible abuse of the profession when it does, but it’s not the norm and I don’t believe it’s an every day occurrence. Fifty years ago I think it was more suppressed, victims were afraid or ashamed to talk about it. Today, with all the news coverage and patients being more willing to come forward, medical scrutiny and reporting policies provide more patient protection against it.

Just my opinion.

here in the US, Is almost a daily thing. physicians and or medical staff sexually abusing their patients. Is not me who says it is the news.

Not that I am an avid follower of news in the outrage section of the media, but I cannot recall much of anything about doctors or medical staff abusing or taking sexual misuse of patients. That would be too juicy an item to pass up and it would surely be talked about in the media, even the media I follow.

Over here we had the ORR clinic closing and the media making a day of it. Probably a few incidences now and then, but I don't see or read much otherwise.

I remember the big Satanists in Schools scare of the 1990s (?) in the US which was really a bonanza for certain media. And one always has to be wary of which specific media outlets spread the stories and how they are presented and slanted.

As a child, this could easily have seemed to me, but perhaps it really was so. As a child, I was a rather thin boy with the features of a girl. Until the age of 6, I was often confused with a girl. At the age of 10, I was kept in the pediatrician's office longer than other children. Although it was caused just by the fact that I had to undress and I had a rectal examination. Since I had a suspicion of diseases of the rectum. Medical students were often present. Most likely, for the reason that not all children did this, and medical students had to show rectal examinations.

Speaking of possible sexual abuse. It seems right that doctors always performed rectal examinations on me in the presence of those who brought me, and often students. Often such an examination was carried out in the knee-thoracic position. I did not see what was stuck in me, you never know what, it may seem to me.

Physicians are confronted with the boundary between the ethical and moral care of their patients versus stepping over that line for personal or maybe financial reasons every day we see patients. I think the vast majority of doctors comport themselves well and serve the best interests of their patients. It is sadly true that some do not however, and cross that line. They deserve only scorn, and the loss of the privilege of caring for others along with criminal prosecution. Period. Full stop!

There is no database and there are no concrete statics so to trivialize it or be blatantly dismissive about it is absurdly narrow minded. It happened to me during my own childhood. It is NOT a matter of "don't trust anybody over 30". It is matter of being protective of a child's welfare. This a world populated by its share of nefarious deviant human scum. Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals should not get a pass. Evil stirs in all shapes, sizes and job titles.

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks"

There seems to be a knee jerk reaction here on Zity sometimes to minimize these situations, specifically when the victim/survivor is male. It is very common for survivors of abuse to minimize and justify the abuse, they do not benefit when others do this as well.

I, like others here, were drawn to this site by interests that stem from experiences of molestation and abuse. Just because a doctor or nurse can ‘justify’ it and claim to exam or contact was necessary doesn't mean it was. It's a covert abuse of power. Most medical professionals may be just that, but humans also abuse.

Of course it's not in the news every day. However! There are many cases in the news and I have posted many here on this thread!

And many aren't reported, due to the many reasons discussed below, but I suspect the prevalence is actually lower today due to kids/parents being more educated and knowing they have rights.

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

There seems to be a knee jerk reaction here on Zity sometimes to minimize these situations,

The knee jerk reaction in society and the media is to milk the outrage of any cases for all it is worth and stoke the outrage and fear.

That sells. Sober objectivity doesn't.

Medical treatments are often embarrassing and the need for them is not always explained to younger people, if they could understand the reasons to begin with.

I'd also mention that the seemingly prevalent use and even insistence on having a chaperone present, in a way, increases mistrust as a default way of thinking about doctors and medical situations. Why do so many insist on chaperones if there isn't already an element of mistrust present?

Mistrust is a difficult cycle to break out of.

Yet I was molested by a doctor as were several other people I know. Let's not dismiss people's actual experience.

But how common is inappropriate behavior in the whole of the medical experience? Zity.biz members may not be a true representation of how often abuse happens or does not happen.

I'm not saying it does not happen, but the experience maybe the catalyst for the development of the kink/fetish that brought the members to Zity.biz.

I wish I knew the real catalyst for my medfet. I've described elsewhere how I became aware of my interest in this particular obscure branch of fetishes, but I still really don't know why it became this and not something else.

For the life of me, I cannot recall any instance of being misused or abused or mistreated in a medical situation or by medical personnel. I do remember being scared, (unnecessarily) mistrustful, reluctant to go to doctors, suspicious, apprehensive and all of that. But that was mainly because of ignorance on my part and not fully understanding the need for certain treatments and how they were done, along with hearing lots of utter medical nonsense from others that, when young, a person takes for gospel truth.

Luckily for me, my wife had medical training and corrected my many misunderstandings of things medical.

The job of the media is to exaggerate everything, otherwise they would have no viewers

I remember a story about a 14 year old boy who was used voluntarily as the subject in a school class on sex abuse. It had to do with making boys understand how a girl felt when getting grabbed. He was subjected to being groped by a girl and found it necessary to sue over it. I figured the school/teacher must be the unluckiest in the world to have found the only 14 year old boy in the country who would complain about that. When I was 14 being groped by any female was the subject of our dreams.

My guess would be that the parents smelled a potential bushel of bucks if they played their cards right ...

IN my family no one ever went to the doctor unless you thought you were going to die. When I was 35 I finally began having annual physicals and the doctor always had me strip naked for the exam. I figured that was the norm so never felt abused.

Now 45 years later I have had a few experiences with hospitals.

1) Sterile urine sample: She came in and wiped my penis thoroughly, inside and out. Holding it retracted she filled the cup then squeezed it off and shoved the urinal over it to finish draining it. When she removed that she scraped the shaft skin hard and the back of the coronal ridge even harder. I felt abused but not sexually.

2) Next time I was being prepped for bed and a girl came in to apply a sticky pad on my back. She stripped me and checked me all over then left me standing there naked in a room full of girls who were getting the room ready. She left for 10 to 15 minutes I guess to get me a gown. If those girls were getting a thrill looking at an old man with a little wrinkly one, I say enjoy the show. The hospital was operating with about half the needed staff so I certainly didn't feel abused.

3) The dermatologist had me naked so she could look at the scrape under my foreskin. She did have a couple girls helping her look at it. One was her assistant but the 3rd one just showed up to help with the looking. I don't know who she was. Maybe she was abusing me with her eyeballs but it didn't hurt.

Those are my only experiences with medical nakedness.

Exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a related story about something my freshman college roommate shared with me, about his sports physical in high school given by (in his words) a hot, young female. She probably was a nurse practitioner, though he described her as a doctor.

First, a bit about him and our college. We lived in a co-ed dorm, several stories high, about 36 guys per floor. Men and women alternated each floor. So we all knew each other pretty well, and in the spring semester he was voted (by the women presumably) the "hottest guy in the dorms." I could not disagree.

He was built like a running back because, well, he was a high school running back and a pretty good one. He was the perfect mix of cute and masculine. We didn't have group showers, but he was not at all self-conscious in the dorm room. After showering, he'd drop his towel and walk to his dresser (or more often pile of dirty clothes) to find his underwear -- bikini briefs! He also slept in bikini briefs. Yet, I never got even a remote sense he was anything but 100% straight.

His flaccid penis was very average-sized, and his testicles about average too. I saw it dozens of times, always flaccid. I wondered what he looked like hard.

Toward the end of the spring semester, I rolled over in my bed and happened to catch him pulling up the covers. I closed my eyes and stayed still. There was a nightstand between us, so I couldn't see his head but I could see him from the neck down. I opened one eye just enough to catch him sitting up in bed to look at me. I faked some snoring-type noises.

He laid back down and pushed the covers down. Then he pushed his bikini briefs to about midway between his crotch and knees. There was enough light for me to watch him work up an erection and masturbate . As he masturbated, he lifted his head from his pillow so he could watch what he was doing to himself. Then he'd let his head hit the pillow for a few strokes before lifting his head again. It was not bright enough for me to see him ejaculate, but I got a good sense of the size and shape of his penis. It was about my length but fatter than mine.

It was, at the time, the hottest thing I had ever experienced sexually -- watching a jock and "hottest guy in the dorms" masturbate just a few feet from me.

Fast-forward a week or two when I disclosed to him that I needed to schedule a physical for my summer job. He proceeded to tell me about his sports physical from high school, likely his junior year. He talked about how "she spent a lot of time down there." When I inquired, he explained that he had a "female doctor" for his sports physical, and she examined both his penis and testicles very thoroughly -- too thoroughly, some would say. But he was smiling when he told the story and clearly enjoyed the experience of showing off his athletic body and genitals to a female who undoubtedly found him attractive. I asked enough questions to find out he was standing at the time and she was seated, and that all he had on was his underwear. He disclosed he started to get hard, but did not get a full erection.

For years, I had many jackoff fantasies thinking about him at the doctor -- and knowing I had seen his full erection. (We were roommates the next year too, and in all I saw him masturbate around a half-dozen times, and once get jerked off by a girl he brought back to the dorm.)

My college physical was the most thorough that the pediatrician did started out normal but then he removed my underwear and I was naked for the rest of exam, Rectal temperature, Rectal exam and I couldn't help it from exam I ejaculated.

@backster many females that I attended college with told similar stories about their college entrance physical performed by their pediatrician. They said that it was much more thorough than any prior exam. Many females believed that the pediatrician took liberties with them because it was the last time they would see him. They referred to it as his going away present.

Or perhaps it was a way of preparing them for their entrance into the real world of adults and how exams were going to be from then on in the future.

A rude awakening to the realities of life as a grown-up, like young men used to get at their military induction exams back in the days when military service was still mandatory in many countries.

Today, the politicians argue against parental rights, but ironically, it’s a lot easier for a doctor to be legally scrutinized, and charged with violating a child’s rights. A primary example is the argument against taking rectal temperatures on children. Many consider it to be child abuse. That’s a good reason for an assistant to be present during an examination.

Be nice to get exams like that now instead of "you walked in and you're breathing, see you next year".

I sometimes wonder if my physical exams were so extensive without any regard for modesty because in just a few years we might be getting a draft physical for the Vietnam War.
