{{{{{{{KimmyDawn}}}}}} I'm so sorry you went through that. I was sexually harrassed by a dermatologist once and it was very scary to know that a doctor -- who takes an oath to "first, do no harm" -- would take a patient out of their comfort zone. It gives me the heebie jeebies. I feel guilty because I was young and I didn't know what sexual harrassment was and I still don't even know if what he did could be construed as "sexual" harrassment but he made me feel very uncomfortable on the examining table by ogling me in a really creepy way and saying I had really nice legs. It felt innappropriate and it scared me, so I guess my feelings about it are valid, no matter what it was. I mean, it's never appropriate for a doctor to "compliment" a patient on a body part, right? So anyway, I wish I had the wherewithal to report him or complain to someone. I hope he didn't hurt (or even make uncomfortable) any other patients. But I must forgive myself because I was raised with no self-esteem so I didn't know how to speak out for myself or tell anyone that what they were doing made me uncomfortable...

Sorry-- Kimmy Dawn, I got off on my own little memory there. What I wanted to say to you is-- you did the right thing and I'm sorry you are re-living it, but I guess some of our healing work involves re-living things so I wish you gentle healing and a safe process. Your support to everyone here on this forum is so sweet and so very appreciated. I hope we're all here for you in the same way.

Take good care,

Love,
Kelly
