Nonconsensual pelvic exams exposed as common medical practice
On Feb. 17, The New York Times published an exposé on the practice of performing pelvic examinations on non-consenting, anesthetized patients. The article, titled “She Didn’t Want a Pelvic Exam. She Received One Anyway,” details the story of both Weitz and nurse Janine, who also received a pelvic exam despite explicitly telling her doctor she preferred that medical students were not present, and never consented to the examination. Janine did not provide her last name.
