I'm a female student and was paired with a male health professional to observe his patient load/his role.
I was alone with him between patients, and he spent this time talking about females, various intimate situations, how he disliked breast implants, preferred real women with real bodies. Talked looking at my chest. Was totally dismissive of certain cultures and of patients not from the UK originally. He also swore at one patient who had said something in another language which had obviously riled him.
After examining a patient, he pointed out the muscle group near my shoulder, then took it upon himself to move behind my chair, and put his hands down the neck of my uniform, and massage my shoulder on my skin. He pointed out it would be easier if my tunic was undone.
I moved forward, and I pointed out it wasn't appropriate, and I would hate for a patient or staff to walk in in an attempt to get him to come to his senses. He asked if I had a partner that could do it. I declined to answer.
I mentioned this about a week later to someone I work with who told me to report it. I have, and now it looks like this man will be fired.
I feel nervous and sick. I can't sleep. I am terrified everyone will hate me and he will call me a liar and they will believe him.
Should I have kept my mouth shut? Help.
