[quote=Anonymous]it was my pediatrician, back in the late 1970s/early 1980s.  starting at the age of around 5 or 6yo.  he was a solo practitioner, and his wife was the nurse/front desk person.  nobody else worked there, as far as i recall.

i was unescorted in all of my examinations - mom waiting in the waiting room, male pediatrician alone with me (and all other patients, likely) in the exam rooms.  each time, he would pull aside my underwear and digitally penetrate me.  first, he would warn me that it would be embarrassing, but he had to do it because he was my doctor.  and then he would do it.  i hated it there so much but since he was my doctor, i never told anybody and assumed that it was a "normal" part of my exams.  it wasn't until i was 14yo and went with a friend to get her yearly physical with her pediatrician (can't remember why i was with her and not her parents), and i came in the room with her for her exam.  her pediatrician was also male, and was escorted by a female nurse.  i saw every bit of the exam and i was waiting to be sent from the room for the part of the exam that i "knew" was coming.  well, it never came.  and i realized, holy shit, that was not a necessary exam.  my mom had already moved me to a new pediatrician so i was not subjected to him anymore, but i still felt shameful.

i never told anybody until i was an adult, and have only told my DH.  i looked up my former pediatrician, and the news report was that this "beloved" pediatrician had a massive stroke and was vegetative, then died.  i thought, served him right.[/quote]
