If I found an MD child molestor, would this be bad for MD reputation or is it just a child molestor that happens to be an MD?
Exactly. I had my marbles cupped as a kid for youth football physical. I was like, "is this for real? Where is an adult?"
He said "the nassar thing" made DOs/OMM look bad. He didn't say that Michigan State's commentary about OMM makes DOs/OMM look bad. In addition, we don't know what Michigan State was told about the treatments that were received. If this guy was molesting children, it's not outside the bounds of reason to think he lied to MSU and told them only about the legitimate treatments he was doing. We simply don't know what MSU knew.
Oh, and yeah, the whole "you're a DO. You got chip on shoulder. GOTCHA!" You really showed me with that one
I doubt anyone ever really investigated it. It was probably underreported and they just asked him for an explanation and took his word. The guy would have abused no matter what specialty he was, given the access to victims. I suspect that he used his OMM mostly as a means to gain access to young female athletes. He has a predators mind.
bystander effect? No clue.
There is a pelvic floor release omm technique and something that might be considered for back pain. Maybe the bonewizards can chime in. I can see lay people not understanding the difference.
Please point me to a case where a school/hospital dismissed sexual assault accusations because the victim didn’t “understand” the nuance Breast/pelvic exam.
"Authors Elizabeth Anne Pastore and Wendy B. Katzman wrote that internal muscle assessment involves a practitioner using a glove to avoid contamination and palpitating a woman's pelvic floor. Initial entry may be painful, the authors note, and doctors should prepare the woman with what to expect, maintain eye contact with the patient, and use lubricant to ease the patient's discomfort."
That's awkward af...when we are taught the pelvic at my school (MD), we are told to depress the drape to allow eye contact too. I think it is to be able to read non-verbal cues. That said, the whole "maintain" makes it sound like you are just staring at them the whole time which is creepy lol. There might very well be a reason for this, but it's still super awkward for both parties haha
That has nothing to do with OMM as a practice and everything to do with the school covering for itself. My own hospital had an ED attending (MD, not DO) get away with fondling the breasts of multiple women and he was able to get away with it because the patients all probably had the same type of thought - that no one would believe them or that they weren't sure if what the doc was doing was wrong. He only got caught because he ejaculated on a patient he thought was unconscious but wasn't.
And PM&R, but my understanding is most of them don't even use it.
DO foreplay.
you guys are so clueless about D.O. What Nassar did was wrong but there are legitimate OMM pelvis treatments as the above video demonstrated
Oh, I hope we don’t have to do this in lab this semester.
We have very different definitions of the word "legitimate" .
