You say that as if that practice has been abandoned

A recent survey of 101 medical students from seven American medical schools found that 92% had performed a pelvic exam on anesthetized female patients, 61% of whom reported not having explicit consent from the patients.

Double fuck

I was always suspicious of male OB/GYN, it seems like an unusual specialty to choose for purely altruistic reasons.

Abandoned? Definitely not. It's just not as "acceptable" these days. (Grew up with family member OB/GYN from the 1950s and was definitely the type to do that shit)
