Medical Sexual Misconduct is Under-Reported

If you were sexually abused by a medical professional during an in-office visit or during a procedure, it’s important to know that you are not alone. However, you may feel like this has never happened to anyone else, and that’s because medical sexual assault often goes unreported. According to a National Library of Medicine report, the unreported incidents of sexual medical misconduct may be so frequent because:

• Patients who are victims of sexual medical malpractice may be shocked or in disbelief.
• Patients assaulted by physicians or staff during medical appointments may feel guilt or shame.
• Patients who have experienced sexual abuse from doctors may see the imbalance of power between them and the doctor as an “impossible to prove” situation.
• Patients who experienced medical sexual assault may not want to publicly disclose what happened to them.

What is Considered Sexual Abuse in a Medical Setting?

Sexual abuse in a medical setting can include sexual acts or comments made by a provider. Medical sexual abuse is not limited to actions. If you’ve experienced any situations in a doctor’s office with a medical professional, you may have experienced sexual abuse:

• Inappropriate sexual comments (including sexual jokes)
• Sexual propositioning
• Touching that is not medically necessary
• Non-consensual sexual acts
• Inappropriate examinations
• Sexual voyeurism
• Unnecessary examinations
•  Sexual Coercion

If you believe you’ve been sexually abused by a medical professional in Tennessee, contact Hughes & Coleman today.
