This is pretty disturbing, but in all honesty its a very, very common thing. It disturbs me about as much as any of it does. There are countless procedures that take place in the medical field where students in that profession are invited in to come 'take a look' or get 'hands on'.
While I don't agree with anything going on without consent, personally, I find the random pelvic exam taking place on someone who just underwent a hysterectomy a little less daunting then a pack of cardio-thoracic students coming in to prod at my mitral valve during a replacement. The only reason it seems worse is because it deals with something that can be taken on a sexual level.
It should stop, period. Because no matter what the procedure, I'd personally want only that going down and not to be a tool for others to learn from... That's just me.
