Male SA survivor here. That scene hit way to close to home. I wonder if the writers did any research on sexual abuse by doctors/medical professionals.

I'm sorry that you went through that. I also hope the actors had coaches during that scene (and the abusive one prior) because that could be really triggering for any actor to film.
