Since then, I've witnessed a senior clinician teach a student poor practices (not capturing an adequate history etc); another time, to disrespect my participation in decision making. So it's become somewhat triggering for me, so I've decided to no longer participate in any such thing. The trigger is feeling objectified.
What is really triggering is that many do pelvic exams on women who are under anesthetic without their consent.

Beware of medical practice and ethics (lack of). Once too trusting, I've learned the hard way.

About the pelvic exams on unconscious women that's what I was thinking about when I wrote that medical students treat patients and especially female patients like guinea pigs to practice on. That horrifying practice is not restricted to the UK and the US btw. It's entirely unsurprising that doctors and medical students (males I sould add) think it's "no big deal". Of course they think that. I mean penetrating a woman's vagina without her consent is totally not rape guys!
