A doctor has been arrested for indecent assault after he violated a woman he was supposed to be treating, by conducting an impromptu and entirely unnecessary examination of the inside of her vagina using his endoscope.
Apparently the lady, then in her twenties, was undergoing a colonoscopy, a routine procedure involving the insertion of a camera (endoscope) into her rectum.
Whilst the nurse left the pair for a moment, the doctor (now 53) is accused of seizing the chance to undertake some additional preventative examination, inserting the device into her genitals instead.
The lady complained at the time, but the doctor merely gave her the same explanation he would later give: that he had mistakenly inserted the device into her vagina and not her anus, presumably an easy mistake to make even for a medical professional.
The incident apparently occurred in the mid nineties, but the lady only decided to report it upon thinking that the statute of limitations was on the verge of expiring (it is not clear whether this is the case).
The doctor denies the charges, explaining that he inserted the endoscope into her vagina accidentally: “My hand slipped,” he still maintains.
Via Sankei.
2ch quips that if his hands are so unsteady perhaps he is in the wrong profession, though some voice sympathy that a difference of a mere 2cm can result in arrest…
I can accept that this was an accident but in this case, I believe he should be extremely reprimanded…
This isn’t really about sexual harassment: this could contaminate her vagina. You should not put feces in there.
That’s the real serious issue here folks.
To quote a certain anime doctor, “Time for an experiment!” 😀
WHOOPS!! Sorry about that it was just an accident!
There have been a couple of these cases in Russia in these past few days as well. One might wonder about the trust women put in their gynecologist to resist the temptation…
Wow……
