Dear Abby and all You said
"I would charge the Ob, I believe that was the first and only time in my life when I have been sexually abused." Can I suggest that unless women like you make complaints to the HCCC that these practices will remain and more women will feel violated from obstetric practice. When Maternity Coalition met with the NSW Health Care Complaints Commissioner she made it very clear that although she 'knew' that maternity services were pretty much broken in NSW on the basis of complaints against Obs they looked wonderful (ie 13 out of 86,000). Groups like MC will only remain credible if women are brave and 'come forward' (to appropriate agencies) with their complaints. I do not know how hard it is to mount a complaint against a Dr. But I do know how hard it is to address the torment of sexual abuse so in a way I can sympathise.
