    If people followed the information on that link we would be on our way to controlling the population, think of how many more people would die of cancer if they waited for a female doctor to do breast exams and smears.

    It's okay for the odd person to ask for a female doctor but if everyone did considering how much pressure there is on doctors we would be fecked. And in the past if I wanted a female doctor it was because of embarrassment which I am so over.

    Anywho yes some patients have been sexually abused, its nothing like the issue the chuch has had but if you want to prevent someone being taken advantage of in any situation like that you have to teach people how to say no to someone in authority and have a place they can report an accusation that isn't going to the Gaurds.

    The only way I have been mistreated by a male doctor is by not being taken seriously and not knowing what to ask for I was made feel like ah shure I'm just a woman, I had a virus that was attacking some of my internal organs, I was in such pain and was sent home with panadol because "isn't is hard to be a woman its probably just your time of the month".

    Anway back on track if you're going for a breast exam, smear or anything really you should research what the procedure is and even if the doctor did do something that made you feel uncomfortable you can tell them, tell them you're nervous about the exam before hand, talk to another member of staff about something that happened to see if it was part of the procedure or just leave.

    That link, utter sh/te

    There's a link on that website for law firms to get in touch to advertise. They're basically hooring for ad money by attracting people like yourself OP & who'll read all that horrible tripe about male doctors being bizarre perverts who spent umpteen years in college to get the chance to touch boobs every day & then will fancy suing their doctor.

    I think the real danger in Ireland is the Lesbian militia behind that Cervical Check campaign, using any opportunity they get to try trick a speculum up you. *Clearly* just twitching for any chance to look up the knickers of mná na hEireann.

    If anyone takes advantage, it's me. I go in there with a long list of hypochondriac illnesses that I insist on having checked out before I leave. Make sure I get my monies worth, I do.

    Pretty outrageous thing to say. And actually no, many women aren't breast aware.
    I'd say lots of male doctors are afraid of their lives when examining women and children - all it takes is one false allegation of inappropriate touching to destroy them professionally and personally.

    Yup, I had to have a gynae examine a couple of months ago from a male doctor and we had to waste about 10 minutes waiting for a female nurse to be available to stand there with him. Ostensibly to make me feel comfortable but I didn't care, an exam is an exam, she was really there to protect the doctor from me accusing him of anything if I got freaked out. It felt really silly as my husband was in the room too. He'd be some crazy doctor to assault a female patient in front of her husband.

    I'm not sure that's just male doctors though, my gynae (female and awesome) will never start an exam until there is a nurse in the room with her.

    Pretty much all the OP's posts are about breasts!

    I think you'd want to be pretty naive to be taking off your top when it's obviously not necessary at the GP. And just ask why if you are suspect! Surely people are no longer afraid to question the priest, GP or police :rolleyes:

    Yeah I'd have serious questions for any Garda that came up to me and said 'I need to examine your breasts.'

    That sounds like something they'd be showing women in Iran, really bizarre.
    I think the worst bit was "if you currently have a male gyno you're happy with, switch to a woman" and "don't believe people who recommend a good male gyno". FFS.
    I wonder what their solution would be if your female gyno/GP was a lesbian?

    It looks like I've been going to doctors in the wrong country - Finland. Unfortunately, I've had to have a lot to do with them in the past couple of months and the five (three specialist doctors and two senior consultants) that I have been examined by were all women - and bloody attractive ones at that! ;)

    Did they molest me, touch me up inappropriately?:)

    How I wish, but it looks like I'm having a streak of bad luck on that front as well as on the health one this year so far.:eek:

    I think you might be right! :eek: My first ever smear ended with the matronly nurse telling me that I had a lovely cervix... *flutters eyelashes*

    Or...Maybe she says it to all the girlies! Awww, I thought I was...y'know, special....:(

    Can you imagine the outcry if a male nurse or doctor said, "jaysis, that's a fine cervix". They're be a similarly reactionary thread on here about it. Though the OP rarely seems to stray from the topic of breasts.

    The only reaction this one has had is people collectively rolling their eyes about it.

    if you are there for say a sore finger then asking you to take your top off for a breast examination is well......

    Use your head.

    Now that's a trick I wanna see!! Is it a sleeveless top and you wriggle your head out?? Or if it has sleeves how do you use your head to get your arms out??

    On a more serios note I think this is just sensationalism. I'm sure it happens but in such few numbers that it warrants a website.

    I believe years ago females used to make a trip to the GPS to have an orgasm, GPS got sick of using their fingers and made a vibrating chair thing, it was steam powered.. That later evolved in to a hand held device sold in sex stores rather than stored in the GPS surgery.

    Years ago it was diagnosed with hysteria and men used to give to gp permission to relive the condition by stimulus to the clitoris by the gp. Bet a few took advantage of it, not that any women complained.

    Thankfully my male gp is not the type to over step the mark.

    This thread is a joke, right?

    Otherwise, I'm probably going to have to disown my dad. As a doctor, I can only assume he's abused countless women - according to that website anyway.

    I also found this post by the OP, so I can only assume this thread is a wind-up.

    I went to my gp with my boyfriend at the time, the gp was male & I had to get undressed down to my underware I was wearing a see through lace bra, my boyfriend took an issue over it, why I don't know as he was not the only one to see me undressed, I just got sick of his attitude & we split up over it

    op it's a medical exam you need to mature, what if your girlfriend wore a bikini on holidays would you behave the same
