[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- just want to say I am a med student and read about this practice in a book written by a physician who went to college in early 70s. I thought this practice was over until I saw this article on meddit. I am OUTRAGED that this is even a thing and I hope female physicians can STAND UP to this. disgusting. [/quote]

Hi OP! I am glad you are educating readers and taking it upon yourself to change this aspect of medical culture. As an RN, I [b]have seen female attending surgical gyns oversee these exams on unaware, anesthetized patients[/b]. I was horrified, but didn't say anything at the time. No one said anything. It was part of being a patient in a teaching hospital, 20 years ago.[/quote]. You must be lying. Everyone on DCUM knows that it is only horrible men who would do such a thing![/quote]

Mostly true. But female attendings were trained by mostly males. Most males [i]are[/i] horrible when unaccountable.[/quote]  Most men?  I feel really sorry for you that this is your view of humanity--and you are wrong. Most men are not horrible.[/quote]

Yes they are.  Slavery.  Holocuast.  Every war.  Treatment of native Americans.  British colonial rule.  The crusades.  Seriously men have been horrible since he beginning of time.  [/quote] I pity any men/boys who have the misfortune to be in your life.  [/quote]
