When this doctor was trained one was trained to examine the whole body, and you examined the head and neck, then the chest where you examined the breasts before moving the left one out of the way to examine and listen to the heart. I have found breast cancers this way. One woman had a mammogram months before and didn’t know the results. I was focusing on her heart because of her specific chief complaint but, as per training I examined her breast before moving it and I felt a breast mass and told her she had to go back to that doctor quickly. It was breast cancer. Older women, more so in the past, will deny any breast issues until you see the ulcerated tumor breaking thru the skin. Doctors of his generation were taught always to do a recto-vaginal exam as part of a gynecological exam. We have found rectal cancers that way. One of my colleagues died of a rectal cancer that a colonoscopy missed because the colonoscopist did not do a digital rectal exam. When this doctor was trained one only had a nurse in the exam room during the pelvic exam. Today my employer wants me do a pelvic and Pap by myself. (I a male physician.) “The nurses are too busy.” O tempora, O mores. I was chided by a female colleague for NOT DOING A FULL BREAST exam because I didn’t do it thoroughly enough. And she was a radiologist. I tried to explain that today we don’t spend as much time examining the breasts because we know we are going to get mammograms which are much more definitive.
They kept coming back?!?
Yes, that’s the weird part!
He’s definately a creep , but why did these women return to him after the first time they were assaulted??
I don’t believe this story why did you keep going back. They are lying.
