True

“In medical care, dignity is the first casualty.” (Kussin, unknown American physician)

Mine was lost at 5 when being forced to have a male doctor examine my privates despite me screaming no, that I wanted a female doctor. Neither him or my mom cared, ranting the "We've seen so many" line, but that did not console me and I fought, and fought hard until I was captured, forced down and touched with covered my vaginal area with burning cream, assuming I had some sort of yeast infection when in fact it was the very first hint of IC.

I remember it. That means it was traumatic for me. Children REALLY need parental advocacy.. this incident has stuck with me for a long time.
