I had similar experience. Had to go for medical examination as part of benefits claim. The letter however told me that the examination was for one purpose. I was so niaive that I thought that I would be dealing with doctors and nurses like who I worked with. How could I have got it so wrong. The doctor didnt explain to me all purposes of the examination so, he done an examination for other purposes. As far as I was concerned, informed consent was not obtained as my attendance was based on information that was misleading. I only learned the true purpose after he had finished examining me.

During the exam he asked me to remove items of clothing. I could not see any drapes to maintain the dignity of the patient so I asked him for this. His behaviour then became totally inappropriate, I feel guilty for allowing this to happen and my only regret is that I didnt get the hell out of that exam room as to this day I am still living with the consequences.

It may sound stupid or that I am super sensitive, but when I asked him for the drapes to cover myself his reply "I am a married man and I am sure nothing you would have would shock me". He then went onto do an abdo exam and for the life of me the abdo exam had nothing to do with the medical cause of complaint. I still feel sick to the stomach when I think of it, and over 9 years later I see him standing over at the sink washing his hands. When I left this room and building I was in utter disbelief if that makes sense saying to myself did that just happen. There was a police station across the road and I remember thinking do I go in there and some part of me still thinks that I should have reported it.

I come from that profession and I felt powerless. But what I will say to the original poster is if you believe you were violated go with your instinct. There's enough of people who question you - but when you start doubting your own experience that means these people win.
