Honestly, if I had the experience you just decribed, I would be calling the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario. (heres the website http://www.cpso.on.ca/)
Not only was his conduct questionable, it was completely unprofessional (in my opinon)
I went to the website, just to see what info they had for filing a complaint (i was outraged just reading your post) and found the following info:
WHAT KINDS OF CONCERNS DOES THE COLLEGE ADDRESS? The College reviews a wide range of concerns that are raised by patients. Complaints of a sexual nature may include complaints about: privacy and respect inappropriate comments or gestures unnecessary or improper physical examinations sexual contact or assault
and I truly belive that his comments after your exam fall under the inapproprate catagory.
As far as feeling that you 'could have said something at the time' i dont think that should be a reason -not- to report it. Just reading what happend my jaw drapped and I was left speachless, couldnt imagine being able to say something at the time!!
-call them- and tell them what happened... it shouldnt go unreported. I just moved to London and I sure as hell dont ever want to see that doctor if that is how he treats his patients. And who knows, maybe this isnt the 'first time' something inapproprate has happened with this DR (shudders)
