I'm not even going to give you the satisfaction of replying to such a
ridiculous and obviously inflammatory post.
To everyone else, doctors, forum members, etc.:
DON'T GIVE THIS PERSON WHAT THEY WANT! JUST IGNORE HIM AND HE WILL
EVENTUALLY GO AWAY!
We all know the truth, and we all know that so many women would be dead
if they didn't have that "exam" done, "just in case." This girl was at a
gyn's office for something specific, otherwise she would have been at a
general practictioners office so OBVIOUSLY they would do an exam.
