You have a right to your feelings, no matter how long ago this happened. I think doctors are used to a certain protocol, and he wasn't thinking. That is a shame, because he caused you to feel violated. I think doctors should be made aware to be sensitive, especially with young patients.
You aren't over reacting.....simply reacting. You might want to write that doctor a letter of "restorative justice"--this is what you did; this is how it made me feel. You can choose to send it or keep it.
