Doctor Sexual Assault: Patient Rights and Reporting Options

Описание: Over the last few years, there have been several major allegations of doctor sexual assault that have made headlines for the dozens to hundreds of victims an individual medical professional can have — but, sadly, this is not a new problem.

The inherent trust between a patient and a medical professional alongside the often vulnerable position of patients such as being sedated create positions of power that medical bad actors exploit. From inappropriate touching to performing unnecessary procedures, doctor sexual assault is a breach of trust that many individuals may not recognize in the moment what happened to them.

In this video, we discuss examples of doctor sexual assault, why many individuals do not report immediately, and the legal rights and options those impacted should explore by speaking to a lawyer experienced in doctor sexual assault.
