WHAT THE FUCK, CANADA

Time to end pelvic exams done without consent
Medical students routinely practice doing internal pelvic examinations while surgery patients are unconscious, and without getting specific consent, at least in Canada.

This pisses me off so much I don't even. That is a clear violation of rights and I cannot believe it's legal in Canada. They say medical students need to learn pelvic examination techniques, and women might not consent to having such an invasive examination done if it is not necessary. Yeah, well, TOO FUCKING BAD. Women's bodies are not fucking playgrounds for fumbling med students to practice on, what the fuck.

RIGHT? The logic is both rage-inducing and baffling. You might not get enough volunteers, so therefore it's okay to just practice on random unconscious women? WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK, PEOPLE.
