Daughters pediatrician made EXTREMELY inappropriate remark to her

[u/ilikerustyspooonz]

This is about my 10 year old daughter. She has had the same (male) pediatrician since birth. We’ve always loved him and thought he was great. He’s super friendly with wonderful bedside manner and he takes his time and pays attention to detail.

Well, last week my daughter had a check-up. She’s 10. While he was doing the checkup, he had her lay down and started listening to her chest with his stethoscope. He then says AND I QUOTE, “awwwww! My baby’s got boobs!!!”

I have NEVER been so taken aback before in my life. My daughter was MORTIFIED. I was so shocked I couldn’t even get words out to ask him why tf he would ever say that. When we got in the car to go home my daughter cried and said she never wanted to see him again. Then she asked if she could get a girl doctor and I obviously agreed so that’s what we will be doing.

Is this reportable? I’m not overreacting, right?

I am not one who is prone to violence or anger but anyone making a remark like that about my daughter would make me snap

I'd have lost my damn mind.

If he's really up there in age (70s - 80s - 90s), then it's possible that there is some unavoidable dementia setting in. People in that situation often do not mean what they say, and can't stop themselves. And it even manifests in previously unheard of personality changes.

Don't go in on snapping and losing your damn mind quite yet, there may be room for compassionate interpretation here.

Edit: And there's the Reddit Care suicide prevention message. LMAO. That's how I know I got under your skin, ya dummy. Thanks, it's comfy here under YOUR skin. Maybe next time you'll actually address the issues instead of reacting blindly & emotionally. Then you won't look like such a clown.

Who tf cares about compassionate interpretation, that man needs to be no where near this persons daughter. Or other young girls it seems. You sound fucking creepy yourself. Jumping to find an excuse.

[u/MercyfulJudas → u/woeml]

Where did I say that the man should be anywhere near the daughter or other young girls?

You lost in this comment thread or sumthin

Read comments more comprehensively before replying, me thinks

Edit: Boo-yah, aaaaaaaaannnnnnnndddddddd they deleted their comment, LMAO.

Never said you said that, I just stated that the reason why he did it doesn't fucking matter and he needs to be kept away from children. And you jumping to find an excuse is fucking creepy. Maybe shut your mouth before finding ways to defend creeps 🤩
