Below is an account of a woman who said she was sexually abused by a Doctor, the woman says she is not sure if it is the same doctor now being charged but wanted to share her story nonetheless
“I came to the comments to say you are not alone.
Thank you for being brave to say something.
When I saw the headline of this story, my mind went to one doctor who I went to see when I was a teen.
And he did the same thing to me that you described, he said he wanted to apply a cream with his penis to get it inside and made comments about my private areas, asked me about if I had a boyfriend to do it for me and more perverse things. It was just him and me in the room.
I was so embarrassed and sickened I never told anyone ever
I am now 35 and I wish I had said something then but I can’t stand the way people want to judge you and berate you as if it was your fault. Look at some of the other comments.It makes me sick just remembering him, disgusting man. When I was very young (6,7 years old), a cousin was staying the night and would sneak over to me and molest me in the night.I got the courage to tell my mom because she saw I was different and she made sure he never stayed over again and I’m not sure what happened after that, I never saw him again.One of my aunts said she didn’t believe me and I must have fabricated the whole story.
I found that out as an adult that she said that.
To this day I still feel the pressure on me and feeling helpless under his weight and not understanding what was happening but feeling so sick, afraid, ashamed.
So this is just to give an example of how some people (women and men) cannot accept this disgusting culture of not believing victims of sexual abuse, and why people are afraid to talk about it.
I don’t know if the doctor this article is about is the same one, but I hope a proper investigation is done and if guilty they bring him to severe justice.
And to any parents reading this tell your children to never agree to being in a room with any healthcare professional alone.”
