Medical professionals taking pictures of patients' organs and patients under anesthesia happens more than you can imagine. The only reason patient advocates at the hospital spoke up against this case was because they were posted on Instagram.

An attorney for the spine surgery patient in Alaska whose surgeon took pictures of his genitals while he was under anesthesia shared this statement: When patients are under general anesthesia, they're at their most vulnerable. They have to have confidence that doctors are going to act honorably, professionally and free of any immoral, perverted, or depraved motives or impulses.

The outcome for the above case would have been different if the man had a personal advocate such as his wife present. He also should have been allowed to wear underwear. Patients under general anesthesia cannot speak up.

Two chilling reports of sexual abuse perpetrated by powerful physicians in front of their intimidated medical students were published in Annals of Internal Medicine, a top medical journal. This happens more common than most people think.

A patient's phone accidentally left in record mode recorded disturbing conversation 2 physicians allegedly had while he was unconscious and undergoing a colonoscopy in April 2013.

A medical student talked about how mortified she/he to discover that many medical professionals probably saw her/him naked during appendectomy. But then she/he got desensitized to this in medical school. Most patients do not know the truth about how exposed they are in operating room once they are under anesthesia.

This case indicates how important it is for you to request that the operating room's blinds are closed and that outside visitors cannot see inside the operating room.

This is exactly why patients are not safe in Operating Room without a personal chaperone not employed by the medical facility. This lady would not have been raped if her husband or someone else had been there.

It discussed about how medical students violate patients who are under anesthesia and how they feel pressured to do things that are not ethical by medical schools. Some medical students did rectal exams on a man who was undergoing spinal surgery and he woke up with a sore anus. They definitely did not ask him for his permission at all.
