[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question:  Is there any actual valid reason that a gymnastics doctor would be doing vaginal exams?  I know he called them a "pelvic adjustment" and that incontinence (which I'm sure these girls were not experiencing) is a medical reason for this.  [b]But what on earth could the MSU coach/director who told a mom "It's a medical procedure" have been thinking? [/b] It's not just that he wasn't gloved and didn't have a witness in the room, it's that there was no reason whatsoever for him to be sticking his hands in there, right? [/quote]

I had the same question. Other than incontinence, I didn't find anything online.[/quote]

Perhaps that's what s/he was told about the procedure from Nassar, that it is a "medical procedure"?  Do we know the circumstances behind the comment?  Seems to be a question for a doctor, not a coach or athletic director, but again, the circumstances of the comment are unclear. [/quote]

The judge said she remained openminded to the idea that this was an actual medical procedure, but that his attorneys never even tried to explain how it was legitimate. In other words, the lawyers knew it wasn't, so they didn't try to argue otherwise.[/quote]
