Subject: Doctor Grope
Hey Bart,
Yes, I have had a terrible experience with a medical doctor.
My very FIRST gyno appointment (I was 16 years old) was with a man.
This was 1983; no nurse was in the room with us, and my mom stayed in
the waiting room.
He told me that I was very pretty, and that I looked like his
step-daughter;
this happened while I was in a gown being probed and squeezed.
It was awful.
I also went to a therapist as an adult, about 10 years ago. He only
wanted to know how
good the sex was with my then-boyfriend, and wanted to know how big his
penis was.
That
boyfriend happened to be a lawyer, so we penned a very strong letter to
him and the Board!

Hey Bart,
In
the eighties when I went to this one gynocologist, when we were done
he would always give my nipples a yank. He never gave a reason for
doing that.
I
stopped going to him,

Bart,
I always had good experiences with Doctors...
I never had 'real' health insurance, and always went to community
clinics...
Years ago, if it was a male doctor, there was ALWAYS a female nurse,
or assistant present in the room to make sure you were comfortable...
And
to make sure no false accusations would happen either way I'm sure...
Seems maybe the clinics for the poor were a lot better in this way,
than seeing your own Doc.
Take care,
L.
After Maria's interview with Stern, someone, maybe Robin said,
"I tell
all my friends to go to female gynocologists because I've heard the
comments
the male
doctors make to each other after an attractive patient leaves the
office."
Can you imagine how unsettling that would
be? To hear the doctor be all formal with his patient,
but the minute she leaves the office he's all, "Damn. did you see
the rack on that fine bitch?"
Men are dogs - or worse, they're pigs.
I guarantee those TSA guys with X-ray vision are keeping the hottest images that come thru.
so he could meet the troubled little boys that had nobody in their corner.
There were more Doctor letters, but I'm out of time.
