Stop med students from performing unconsented pelvic exams on anesthetized women.


Stop med students from performing unconsented pelvic exams on anesthetized women.
The Issue
Make it illegal for medical students to perform pelvic exams while women are under anesthetics and have not given permission.
This is an extreme violation of women's rights. I personally feel assaulted as I am fairly certain this has happened to me. I remember vaginal pain and bleeding after a laparoscopy surgery (through the belly button.) No one should touch private areas without permission or the awareness that it is going to/or has happened. It is the same thing as sexual assault! But yet it is legal and done in 46 states! Any hospital that allows medical students may be doing this. Some doctors and students have admitted to violating woman like this approximately 100 times during their education. And often it is more than one student at a time on each patient. Many of the sugeries are even completely unrelated to the pelvic region. It is rape and it needs to stop!
