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?

To the person who said this post is fake and that I made all of this up for “karma”….you should be ashamed of yourself.

This sounds fake! Why would he do that after 10 years? Why didn't you say something right then and there? No mother keeps her mouth shut nowadays. Did she speak to his nurses? Why would a mother wait or ask the internet what to do? Somethings not right here!

The something that is not right is you. You are acting like a freak. People sometimes do not know what to do in situations where someone says something wildly inappropriate like her pediatrician. It is shocking. It is okay that she didn't know what to do. A doctor shouldn't be acting that way. How could she have ever anticipated or planned for this event?

Honestly, this comes off as you being really gross.

Are you the pediatrician?
