The decision revives a lawsuit filed by 94 women who said their OB-GYN sexually abused them. Previously, a lower court determined that the actions they alleged had to be treated as medical malpractice.

        Ruling it as sexual abuse should open up a path for a criminal case as well.

        Edit: he is being charged and is currently being investigated

        Yup. The esteemed justice system that brought you the gay panic defense and affluenza, because it’s too much to expect that the actual law be honored when there’s a chance to exercise cruelty.

          Yeah, the “he’s too rich to be responsible for his own actions” defence was wild and I hate everyone involved in it almost as much as I hate the fact that it worked.

    Doctors used to perform “pelvic exams” on unconscious women all the time without their knowledge or consent. Totally legit practice back in the day.

          A recent survey of 101 medical students from seven American medical schools found that 92% had performed a pelvic exam on anesthetized female patients, 61% of whom reported not having explicit consent from the patients.

            I was always suspicious of male OB/GYN, it seems like an unusual specialty to choose for purely altruistic reasons.

        Abandoned? Definitely not. It’s just not as “acceptable” these days. (Grew up with family member OB/GYN from the 1950s and was definitely the type to do that shit)
