Columbia OBGYN Patients
The Impact of OBGYN Misconduct
Doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals have a duty to act in the best interest of their patients, a responsibility that becomes even more critical in the field of Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN). The significant trust placed in these professionals can lead to lasting harm if abused. The damage from such misconduct often extends beyond the individual, impacting their emotional, psychological, and social well-being, as well as affecting their family, friends, and colleagues.
Unfortunately, a medical professional who engages in sexual abuse is unlikely to do so only once, raising concerns about repeated offenses within the same facility or practice.
OBGYN abuse can be perpetrated by doctors, nurses, aides, or other medical personnel working in:
- Hospitals
- Outpatient centers
- Private practices
- Psychiatric facilities
- Physical therapy clinics
- Rehabilitation centers
For patients who may not be able to immediately advocate for themselves, it is vital to recognize the signs of sexual abuse and take appropriate action.
