Sal	go to the police with this now and teel them donot go back to that doctor what a jerk Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

greeneggs4spam	You sure are, I would definitely report this to somebody. He's your doctor, and his job is to help you, not cause you distress. This man should not be a doctor, and you should call the medical practice and speak to somebody about it, or if it's a privately owned practice, I would consult a lawyer. You can probably sue, but this isn't even about money, it's about feeling same and the need to be confident in your doctor. And you don't know how he treats his other patients either, it's your duty to prevent him from doing this to somebody else too, what if you had a daughter, wouldn't you want to know things like this before sending her to see him? So I suggest you find a way to report him, but there's no need to confront him about it directly, his actions already spoke for him, so he lost his chance to not get in trouble. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

stacey81493	Oh my god im sooo sorry this happened to you you should feel asulted..!!!!! You need to report this immeadetly before it is to late.You need the nurse and as many witness as possible that is sexual harasment and abuse hurry you might not be the only one hurt by him!!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

PIX-ED	You were certainly abused and it's for sure that you're not his first victim, nor the last if he is not reported. Contact the police and file a complaint, then contact a lawyer to handle the legal issues about contacting the AMA about this doctor and his abliging nurse. Best of luck. Acting now will save another woman from his abuse.. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rainbowreggie	File a report. File a law suite. Find a new doctor. If he insisted on undressing you himself then something is definitely wrong. If the nurse seemed wary then there is absolutely something wrong!!! If you have to go back for any reason, insist that a nurse be present and in your line of sight at all times. Talk to the nurses privately about the indication to find out if there are other victims. If he refuses to let a nurse be with you at all times then get the hell out of there! Keep your cell with you and on, if he tries to keep you, you know the number to dial. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

vegan_geek	yes you are right to feel abused, I am very sorry that this happened to you, and would like you to try to remember that you did nothing wrong. I would suggest calling your local rape crisis center, they can offer service to help you and should you want to press charges or sue your doctor they can help you with that as well. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

musicchickie94	Yes! Of course! If you think that any doctor of ANY kind has passed the line between professional to creepy, you need to first tell him that you're not okay with it, and tell him to back off. If you're not comfortable(which I wouldn't be) with staying with him as a ob/gyn, get a new one, if at all possible. Even if the firm that you're currently attending says that this isn't possible at the time, tell the staff what happened, and I'm sure they will find a way, if they have any sense at all. If he continues to harass you in any way, which means if he continues to procede on asking you out, coming to your house, ect. file an official report with the police, and find a way with oomph to tell him to **** off. Now, I have no idea if he will go this far, but, it's always good to be prepared, so don't just sit at home, make sure that if he does try anything, you can be ready. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Hove you been going to this Dr. very long? has he done this to you in the past. Why would he think you would, want to go out with him? Is he that sick or maybe he does like you, for more then just a fling. Is he Married? good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Barbie	REPORT HIM !!!!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Louisa	You should be able to report him if it is your desire to do so. First, start by filing a complaint with whoever owns the practice, or...if it was a hospital, file a complaint with the chief of staff. If you dont get a response, find out which regulatory board governs family physicians in private or public practice in your state and start the process there. Be advised that it could be long, frustrating, and you may get nothing out of it since it'll ultimately be your word against his. My advice, cleanse yourself of this bad experience spiritually, pray for healing and peace of mind...and find another doctor. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

crashcaffy	you need to file a law suit. that isnot how a brest exzam is done, and leagly a nurse must alway, i mean always be thair when it is a male doc. andasking you out after?no way. id file a complant and a law suit. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

goingmad	If in UK at least do not be scared to go to the local police station and ask to speak to a woman police person. This man should be stopped. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

*ladybug*	You are right to feel violated. I would absolutely feel the same way. Not to mention that if it didn't feel right, it probably wasn't right. You need to report this incident so that he gets the proper punishment for it. Imagine what could happen if he continues this. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

gods_child7478	Yes!!! You are totally right to feel abused. That was completely out of line on his part. I'm not sure who you should report this offense to, I'm leaning towards the AMA...American Medical Association, if not them, then someone there could lead you in the right direction. This should definitely be reported, you have been violated, and that is not right. If you speak up, I'm sure others will come out, and say they have experienced this happening with him also. I wish you the best of luck in whatever route you decide to take...Best Wishes!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tetonka	You need to report him immediately. What he did to you is one of the most unethical things a professional person could do. He needs to be held accountable for his behavior. His nurse has an obligation to report him also. You can contact law enforcement, county social services or the medical board. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

bevrossg	Report the abuse to the state medical licensing bureau. He needs to be stopped! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
