[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a bit of level setting might be in order. These practices are at teaching hospitals when a patient is already going to have a pelvic procedure like a cancer treatment. Same with the prostate example. I am clearly ANTI both of these practices but, for example, if you go in for an upper GI, no, your vagina will not be investigated. Still, doesn't make it right but some context. Personally, I think it is criminal both the person doing it, all of the witnesses, and the medical center that lets it go on.[/quote] Correct. If the attending were going to need to a pelvic exam pre-procedure, the residents may also do one, as they are learning how. It's not as assault like as this thread is making it sound, although the patient herself may not understand what she has actually consented to, pre-operatively. Nurses often handle the consenting process, however it is the MD responsiblity, ultimately.[/quote]
