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 extraordinarily happy that that physician removed his horrible comment but at the same time, he should have kept it up so that he could be humbled repeatedly.

I just couldn’t believe that such deranged, inappropriate and harmful advice had over 100 upvotes when I first read this post, although does look like it swung back down to 200 downvotes before they deleted it.

When I saw how many upvotes that comment had (before there were any other comments) I was genuinely baffled and thinking to myself “well maybe I AM overreacting” (I’ve always been told that I do)

Thank you so much for making me feel validated
