I took my son to see the doctor for an eye infection. he check my son an said he didnt like what he felt in his tummy continued to check his belly and told my son to remove his pants and layflat on the bed. he didnt tell me that he was going todo a anal check he put his gloves and added some gel and told my son that this going to feel cold. it happen so fast he said he had fecal back up. my son didnt feel comfortable and i told the doctor that it was not nescessary and pulled his hand and i pulled his hand my son had some fecal on him self from holding it doctor said you and inserted his finger after i told it wasnt necessary my son felt uncomfortable i yanked his hand and he got mad and said to me not to do that i feel we got violated some and feel guilty. should he consulted with me before he did this and had given me the choice of not letting him do this to my son, somehow i feel i didnt get to chose my son never complained about any problems with his bowel movements. everything happen so fast. he then told me if i was going to behave this way to look for another doctor. I just feel that this should of not happen to my son he was humilated and i feel guilty for the situation because it happen so fast i also had my baby with me

Re: Doctor 's visit

Either a. the doctor was a pervert and liked to do fecal exams (unlikely), or there was a medical issue that you do not understand as you are not a doctor. Which seems more plausible? Just because you don't like a procedure, does not mean you know if it is necessary. Unless you are trying to drum up a PI case to make some money, get a second opinion, and focus on making sure your son is healthy.
