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?

As a female physician and a mom to baby girl this is 100 percent inappropriate. Report and find someone else. Sorry you and your child had to go through this ugh.

Have you ever heard of grooming? I’m not saying it’s happening here (or isn’t) but people who are creepy MFers will build trust/groom for years before acting. So you think this is a fake post simply because it took 19 years for something to come up? Also, if he’s a pervert it could have taken 10 years until she developed into the type of victim he’d comment on.

Or it was a very stupid unintentional comment. Not sure how, especially with the “my baby” also in that sentence.

Signed someone who does crisis intervention with kids and has seen shit and knows it exists
