the medical from hell

[Pippin]

If not the Poster, perhaps someone else will read this who has been abused like this. If you do not wish to discuss this directly with CIC or the Provincial Medical Association you have the option to talk with a women's abuse group, or a crisis line. I encourage you to discuss this with your family doctor if you have one. Reporting a serious incident like this must be reported first hand. Making an anonymous report will have little effect. I fully empathize with you not wanting to be victimized a second time. You have to feel strong and safe to move forward. Don't let this despicable person take that from you. You have been abused by someone who should not be in a position of power. Find your inner strength and do what you wish the last women he abused had done as soon as you are able. All the best.

I noticed that in the first post at the very bottom you mentioned that the examination was in Canada. If it was in Ontario, I would suggest you give a good read to this website:
www.cpso.on.ca/policies/complaints/default.aspx?id=1772

If it was from some other province, I am sure they would have similar process.

I am very sorry to hear about what happened.
Please report him to the provincial medical society. They will open an investigation. I think you should also report him to CIC. Report him to the police if you think you can handle a sexual assault investigation, which can of course be very difficult for the victim.
If you and your husband feel you should wait until after you get your PR, that is your decision. But please do report the doctor (at a minimum to the provincial medical society and CIC)at least once you have PR.

There has never been any question about the dr not being reported. And Im so sad after reading many of your comments. Like I am the bad guy. Like I don't care about others. You don't even know me here. :'(



But I will show you the letter that will be sent to CIC. And then I will leave this thread again.

This is what happened to me at the immigration doctors exams:
Everything started normal, since this was my second medical. My first medical became too old and I had to redo it 2 years later.

As I said it started normal. I was alone with the doctor in the exam room. He asked me to get undressed…..which I did.
I just ended up with my panties on. Still normal. Except for the fact, there were no nurse in the doom with us during the exam.
He checked my heart. Normal.
Listened to my lungs. Normal.
Looked through my body top to bottom. Normal.
Looked in my mouth. Normal.

Then he asked to exam my breasts. I did that at my last immigration medical to, so I laid done on my back with only panties on. He started to feel for lumps in my breast with his both hands. One breast in each hand. But after checking for lumps, it turned into a massage……which lasted for minutes. He even played with my nipples.

I felt very uncomfortable, and it didn’t feel right. And I became scared and did not know what to say…..at first.

Then he asked me to turn over to my side

“Why, I asked”

And he showed me his long finger and then he said:

I want to feel inside your anal.

Excuse me, I said, has Immigration asked you to feel inside my bum??????

Oh, Okay I will let you of the hock this time, he answered me.

Then he said that he had another room he would like to take me to, because he wanted to investigate my vagina.

Why I said?

It’s a good thing to do and you will get it free of charge from me.

So this has nothing to do with Immigration and what they are asking for?, I asked once again.

No, he answered me.

Well, no thank you, I said. You know I have a family doctor back home where we live, who is caring for me.

First when I refused, he backed away, and started to go through the Immigration medical again.


This was a very uncomfortable experience and I was very scared. Now Im close to 50 and are able to say no if anything seams wrong. Thank God!!!!!!
But I have to write this letter.

I’m thinking of all the young scared girls coming for an immigration medical, and met this doctor. What if they can’t say no to be touched in their behind and vagina, due to the fear of being failing in the doctor report to immigration? Or simply be too afraid to say no. Or think that these exams are normal immigrations exams.

And all young girls getting a 10 min extra breast massage, with pinches in the nipples, after the exams for lumps…..without any nurse in the room the whole time…..like it was for me.

I have after this exam, learned that the doctor has to have a nurse present during the exams by law. I didn’t know this before I went there.

So why was I alone with the doctor through the whole scary exam, without any nurse present?

I have had nightmares about this experience and I feel dirty. Crying many times. I will never forget what happened in the doctors room.

Worrying about the girls who go there after me been there.

Wondering how many been through this before me.

The thought of any young girl, too scared to say no….is the reason I report this to CIC.

Maybe it can save the girls coming for an Immigration medical, if you can stop him from doing these improper acts on immigration patients.

I wish you the best. I hope the person responsible is caught and severely punished.

Several posters here, including many women, will be needing medicals soon, and a lot of them will need to do them in Canada. The fact that you refuse to say where this doctor is located, makes some of us extremely nervous. How can we protect ourselves if we don't know where the danger is?

Please report this person to CIC and to the medical board as well. This kind of abuse needs to be stopped immediately.

I cant say who this doctor is in this moment. Advised by lawyer. But he will be reported very soon.

My best advise to you.......if you make sure you have a nurse in the room during the exam, you don't have to be scared that this will happen to you. They are suppose to be there by law

OP for legal reason cannot report the doctor's name and location public due to libel laws. Had OP announced the doctor's name, she is setting herself up for libel/slander lawsuit from the doctor. Even though she is using her nickname, Canadavisa's admistration can be ordered to reveal OP's identity, location, email and/or obtain ip address of the message.

It is best that her lawyer deal with it the proper way to protect OP's privacy and avoid being countersued.

So as much as you guys are pi*ssed that she is not revealing the doctor's name, she did the right thing in not revealing it on here. You guys are trying to get her to reveal the doctor's name only to set her up for a lawsuit.

Hi you have done the right thing and reported it. I hope that you are able to feel better soon, Sorry that you had to experience something as terrible as that. Take some comfort in that he wont be able to do it again to anyone again now that he has been reported . Must have been a hard place to be in

@doctors What you are going through is so hard and I am so very sorry for you. Please consider contacting one of the women's support agencies I listed in my previous post (http://crcvc.ca/links/#supportWomen) - for getting help and advice for YOU. You shouldn't have had this horrible experience. It's not your fault that this happened. It is not your fault that he acted illegally and inappropriately. It is not your fault there wasn't a woman present during the exam.

You are doing the right thing in reporting him to CIC but please remember that if is not your fault if he does this to anyone else, nor is it your responsibility to stop him from doing it to anyone else. Reporting him is the only responsibility you have. He, alone, is responsible for his actions.

You have been victimised and your trust has been abused. Please take care of yourself and please consider reaching out to a victim support organisation for support as you recover from this experience.
I wish you well and hope that soon you will be in a better, happier place.
