To complain about a GP calling me this?

@KilkennyCats pray tell, what do you think?

What’s your problem, @beetr00 ?

'Babu asked another of the complainants to take their bra off under the pretext of examining for moles, the court heard.
He told the complainant [...] “I’m not having a bad day” as he touched their breast, the court heard.'

Well that’s a monumental stretch.

No pun intended, I hope.

I was sexually abused as a child, but still think someone complaining about a male GP saying ''Good girl'' is ridiculous.

@Garlicwest "Was he stroking your clit at the time? Drooling? Did he sort of growl it in a throaty manner, or perhaps murmur it breathily into your ear?"

Absolutely vile.

Just fyi, they don't snip, they swab.

Are you an adult human female?

Well that’s a monumental stretch.

No, I’m saying this kind of language will be very triggering for someone that has been assaulted by someone in power, it’s not appropriate, not necessary at all and is gross.

Sorry you went through that OP.
Health workers all get trained in how to speak to people and in my work Trust, it is not ok to use any terms of endearment in case they are misread. He absolutely knew it was not ok to say that, and to use a sexual tone is appalling.
Definitely report.

'With no witnesses to the assaults, it was the strength of all the victims’ accounts, which showed a similar pattern in Cox’s behaviour, that helped secure his conviction," Chris White, from the Crown Prosecution Service, said.'

For GP's own protection against allegations like this, they really need to insist on chaperones.

I hate smear tests as they are so uncomfortable, and have had female nurses say ''Well done'' and ''You are doing well'' for putting up with it.

I've had male GP's do them, they do gazillions, they aren't about to lose their careers over someone like @lolit thinking that they fancy them.

No bloody wonder some GP's use chaperones- to prevent this kind of accusation.

Again - demographics are completely blinding you to context here. For most of you 'good girl' is something you say regularly in real life to children and grandchildren, it's a neutral phrase. In porn and online forums, it's more usually obviously and explicitly sexual. Like calling someone 'naughty'. She's not reading too much into it the overtones are obvious. So much so that it's not an appropriate way for a middle aged man to address younger women at work. And she also heard the tone, which was enough to make her skin crawl. I believe her.

Absolutely this.
People like to get offended over the slightest thing nowadays.

Putting in a complaint over something so trivial is ludicrous.

Dear me. Happy new year from lolit.

I have a close relative who is a brilliant GP consistently saught after for appointments. The beurocracy now is absolutely ridiculous to the point he is considering leaving the profession. The monkeys are running the circus.

I think it says more about a patients interpretation of the expression than a Doctors intention when trying to be sympathetic. Perhaps patients who feel like this will prefer the AI approach to consultations which may not be far off.
God help them if they need an internal.

Quite agree.

Not yet RTFT but it could warrant feedback - depends on situation. If someone was looking at a cut on my finger or listening to chest with stethoscope I’d be less bothered by this than if they had their hand inside my fanny doing an internal. If the latter I’d also feel uncomfortable saying something at the time as I’d be feeling vulnerable and it would make me feel ten times more uncomfortable.

whilst I wouldn’t kick up a stink I would drop them an email (if the latter position) to tell them I felt it was inappropriate and did the opposite of putting me at ease.

OK this thread is bonkers and I think it's because the demographic here are not saturated in porn culture and thus completely oblivious as to how the world actually works and what middleaged male sexuality is actually like. Like there was a thread the other day from someone asking about the pressure to shave body hair and everyone responded saying they didn't shave what's the big deal. For at least the past 15 years it has been unacceptable to have body hair in hookup culture and that's a direct result of porn. This audience is detached from the reality of that. They are also very middle class and culturally biased toward the GP. The naivety is actually astounding and really really toxic and dangerous. I would put money on the fact that it was an intimate exam and this creep has a daddy fetish. I take her feelings of discomfort as strong evidence that she has actually been assaulted by someone in a position of power. And now she's being gaslit for being a snowflake. Like wtf did me too not happen? Did you not get the memo? Abusers exploit their positions of authority and deliberately hide in the gray areas so their victims won't be believed. They use plausible deniability to their advantage. Why the fuck would anyone defend what is at best unprofessional and ill advised and at worst deliberate sexual abuse? Why would you risk not reporting something that could easily be a pattern of abuse? Why should she fear speaking up about a healhcare professional who made her feel unsafe? For the love of God
