I think she's a jerk.

And since she's no shrinking violet, I seriously doubt she felt too shy to stop a dr doing something inappropriate.

I think it's hilarious when the loudest SJWs are found to be seriously lacking in SJ etiquette.

I agree.

Female docs are also guilty of this. Why do you feel safer with them?

Because 99.9% of the time, it's men who do this shit.

Female doctors have done and said some of the most sexist crap ever to me. I’ve had them judge me for being sexually active, tell me that my female-related problems were all in my head, treated me like an annoyance because I was upset over a miscarriage, and push the choices they made for their bodies onto me. In college one female obgyn even tried to convert me to Christianity.

Yep. Along with not taking pain seriously because, "I've had 5 kids, I know pain!" instead of investigating what turned out to be legitimate concerns. Also that I would be infertile if I didn't have a kid by 30. I had a strong of them and now only go to male gynos.

I sure hope they come up with better diagnostic screening tools soon because this crap is pretty intolerable.

But "manhandling" because the tools are crappy for bigger breast and this is needed medically is incredibly different than a doctor behaving improperly. A colonoscopy ain't fun, but it ain't assault either.

THIS. I've only had female technicians do my mammograms and ultrasounds, but they have to touch you and manipulate your breasts. There's really no getting around it.

Yes, with the current technology there is no other choice. That is why it would be nice to have better diagnostic screening tools that don't involve all the handling and smooshing.

When I get a breast exam in the doctors office, I honestly can't recall if they wear gloves or not. You would think since they are manually feeling for lumps they would need the sensation.

I also got sonos immediately following my mammo bc have dense tissue. The sono tech always wears gloves when applying the gel. I think Sara is exaggerating. They squeeze the gel out of the tube and it plops on your breast. Then they use the sono stick to apply/spread the gel. No hands involved. But sometimes a gloved finger or hand might touch your breast---they have to move it around and press down to get the images. NBD.
