The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

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)
