Dr

My GP assumed I was ‘promiscuous’ because I had had a STI test. Her male colleague had already said ‘what have you been up to?’ because the GUM clinic had passed on the info. I had only got tested due to an assault years before to clear my mind but I was then subjected to a forced internal exam when I was experiencing abdominal pain (since diagnosed as bowel endometriosis) The Dr pretended to believe I had multiple partners even though I was in too much pain to have a sex life. When I tried to explain that I hadn’t had any other partners since the test 3 months before she said, ”Oh well you can’t trust men” implying that my partner (a rape survivor) would have other partners (we were each other’s only sexual partner aside from our rapists) I bled for the next week because the Dr was so brutal with the speculum and I know now that informed consent and chaperone procedure was not followed.
