@nowthisimpact: The federal government has *just* decided that hospitals need written consent to perform pelvic exams on unconscious patients. In 2024… #healthcare #health #womenshealth
I woke up from my foot surgery with spotting. Didn’t know this information at the time

makes me wonder, I've had a couple surgeries. the worst part is, if I'd been asked I'd have said yes bc I get people have to learn, but not even being asked!?

I allowed a med student to do a pelvic exam when I was in labour, and I allowed student midwives to come in and watch my birth.... but I was asked and gave my consent. That's the key.

This is why I'm so firm on "no students". Like, I'm sorry, I know people have to learn, but doctors take yes like frat boys do.

In my state in Australia they unknowingly put an iud in if you go for endometriosis surgery and a lot of time don’t tell you and you don’t have a choice

my friend was a student Dr and yes... mostly on pregnant women for some weird reason they conduct experiments and have students perform surgery

meanwhile my Dr put in an IUD under anesthetic.. it perforated, and she said she "usually would use a cam to check it but couldn't because I didn't consent" lol

I’m an RN who’s never worked at a teaching hospital. This is absolutely appalling!!! Never!

This can’t be real??? So people are going in for a surgery and could possibly have a pelvic exam for learning purposes??? And aren’t asked or told

I had a surgery on my ovaries & was explicit about not wanting to participate in a pelvic exam they waited until I was given meds before the OR to try to get my signature again, super unethical

anonymouschaos1 :
I found out when I finally got my notes that they had done an exam while I was under they damaged nerves and I bled for over a month and couldn't understand why my legs were numb and felt off

Citizen Millennial :
They all had to know it was wrong. I would say no if they asked me, however, I would consent if its during a Gyno appt., I'm AWAKE & my doc is there!

Phee :
And how is this supposed to be enforced? If the doc didn’t tell you before this law, he sure isn’t going to after. So how do you know?

I know someone this happened to. It’s devastating. I can’t even believe it was fathomable.

Let’s talk about how they pressure you to let students in to your procedures and exams 😳 they wouldn’t take no for an answer for my CSection! So uncomfortable 😥

I had a cystoscopy and the guy performing it told me afterwards that he “went ahead and did a pelvic exam” since he didn’t see it in my chart
