These comments are why men don't report sexual assault. Too many immature jerks make jokes, shame the men or act like the victim was a willing participant, despite the fact that 40% of males experience some form of sexual abuse in their lifetime. Come on, fellas. Grow up for real.
Well, the Democrat party wants to legalize what this voter of theirs did...
@@superoldgamesaturday3277Cite your references.
I know the feeling. I've been mocked for talking openly about being raped by another man. That culture or whatever it is has to stop.
@superoldgamesaturday3277 Just stay in your cave and shut up. Let the grown ups discuss.
What sucks is that people think it's different for women. We also get attacked for coming forward. Trust me, I've never had a friend since getting raped.
This is so sick. Abuse is abuse, no matter what your gender.
Can we give these men props for coming clear to overcome their victim hood. Men face sexual assault, abuse and harassment. Keep sharing their stories.
Can we admit this was a g predator?
I know because I've been there too by a much older female coworker. I sued.
@@moisemensah8233 So a Dr "raped" or otherwise "abused" grown men in a treatment room and they were unable to stop him?
@@silentmajority8365him being gay doesn’t make him more or less of a predator anyone can be one
@@brennathecatlover4360 My point was media and PC avoids calling any gay predator
Just like Media will downplay or hide the motive in crimes involving gays or trans or persons of color
Last year a trans shot five in Philly but media hid the motive
Lastly monogamy is not common in that lifestyle
If it were disease would not travel so fast within that group
We are not all the same and we don't all commit crimes at the same rate[
This is not what most gay men do. This horrible man is not representative of us. I applaud these men for stepping forward and reporting this abuse.
This is what gay suppression tends to do. It’s just bs. But also, he is a sociopath, so that’s really just inside of him in general.
I join you in solidary supporting these suffering victims but also being aware of what sick Politian's use for their twisted agenda. I commented on this story as well. It's about my story and my Mum. I am also gay and partnered for over 20 years...we met when we were young and still through everything we still turn to each other for it all.
It's what most Democrats do, sadly.
I had the good fortune of discovering I was gay at the age of 24, living in San Francisco a decade before AIDS. I have always hated the notion that any straight man was one cocktail away from being bi-sexual. And touching someone who doesn't want to be touched needs to be treated criminally with serious consequences.
Oh sure they are the most moral men on earth
That why Marco Rubio and Actor JF had Gay pool parties pulling each other
Proud of them for speaking up.
Democrats aren't.
The number is so high because he knew straight grown men would most likely not report.
Democrats aren't.
@@RobertJohnson-hp4gz Nah man, its gay. Were gonna report it.
The Democrat party, sickeningly, does not agree with that statement.
Respect to the men that came forward to report this misconduct. As a veteran who worked as a unit SARC, it takes a lot of courage for victims of sexual assault to come forward and report.
But you hate it when women come forward about sexual assault
What does it have to do with the fact that you are a veteran??
Im so happy these men spoke up. Its very rare that a man will ever speak up against sexual assualt or harrasment and always end up suffering mentally because of it
You are happy when men speak up but get mad when women speak up...😏🤣🤣... isnt this more like a " me too" movement???🤔
I've seen many comments where men shared stories about being assaulted by a female predator and they expressed it was not a problem and that they were quite content. I noticed most men change their attitude towards this major issue when it's a male predator.
What an absolute shame and disgrace for an Army Major to commit such horrendous acts! He was operating within a position of trust! So many years of service gone down the drain smh....
Proud of you men for speaking up!!! Women also assault men also and many go unreported! Stop making jokes everyone!!
I was sexually assaulted by a woman. It wasn’t violent but it was forceful. I’ve only ever told one or two close friends because I know people will laugh at me. Having someone aggressively make sexual advances is completely disorienting, traumatizing and crazy-making. Just the thought of it is traumatizing
Exactly, women need to be held to the same level of standards, accountability, and punishment for assaulting men as it would be with the roles being reversed. Abuse, assault, and such has no gender. Period.
@@MrGraeme1997 research shows over and over that women initiate domestic violence much more than men - men just under report it. Of course it’s sad either way, but there’s this strange way that we enable and justify when a woman is abusive to a man. Like if a woman hits a man people laugh or completely justify it by saying things like “he deserved it.” Misandry is VERY real in this culture.
Moving forward, there should always be a nurse with the doctor.
Agree!
The patient should always have a friend or family member present
Not necessarily, I’ve had specific examinations where I did not want anyone else in the room but the doctor as I wasn’t comfortable.
No - not true! It is not necessary.
@@beachstreet101 then don’t have it done
I was molested by a doctor too, many many years ago, and he still treating people, never had the courage to go foward and exposed him, I regret that now
Same. But I was a kid. I just thought all doctors did the same. He had been my doctor since I was 5 years until I was 18.
😢
I'm sorry for what you went through. Traumatic experiences don't go away with time. It can still be as fresh as when it happened even after years pass. I'm not an expert, but I hope you know that it's great if you could expose him, but if you couldn't you shouldn't blame yourself. Trauma creates so much anxiety and chaos in your mind that doing something others might find easy to do, can be impossible to do. So, I don't believe it's about not having courage. I think you're very brave to talk about it. Sometimes it's so hard to even admit it to yourself that it happened. Don't blame yourself for anything and take care of your mental health. Just by reading two sentences from you, like how it matters to you that the sick doctor is caught and stopped from doing more damage to others, while you're still suffering from your trauma, tells me you're amazing. I send positive energy to you. ✌🏻🌷
It's never too late... There is no statue of limitations on sex crimes.
Me too. I was 15. Sick men….
This is what authority and hierarchy can do 😢
Exactly. Look what they did with Covid…just a money and power grab nothing more
💯
Yeah, because poor people are never involved in sex scandals.😆
@@Ricky-mo6mv Way to miss the point, buddy! 😂
@@shotjohnny Actually, there is no point.
I’m glad this is getting the attention it deserves. Most of the time, people ignore male victims of SA or mock them for not being “manly”.
Not people...MEN mock other men for being victims of sexual assault...the mocking mostly comes from men....even in Africa, the majority of people who are quick to judge and make fun of the situation are mostly, men...

@@Sharkfighter13 They're going to send him to Leavenworth. And 300 years if convicted, means He'll never see light again outside of a prison. And that I'm glad for. I'm also glad that the survivors are speaking up. All it takes is one or two and more will come forward willing to talk about it wiether anon or public wise.
I feel for these gentlemen. It took a lot for them to come forward. I wish each of this guy’s victims peace and a complete recovery.
This is OUTRAGEOUS. F this doctor. I hope he gets locked up. Disgusting. He should be on lockdown until trial.
Innocent until proven guilty! That is our system!
It is just one of the things that make us better than that other side!
Believe in our system!
Because it does work better than any other system!
It's not perfect but it is way better than any of the alternative choices!
I wonder if the doc is circumcised or not and what about his patients. Sexual abuse is bad and shouldn't be condoned.
@@HowieHoward-ti3dxWhy is the first part of your comment relevant
@@riggamorrischan I was just wondering.
@HowieHoward-ti3dx but...why are you wondering? What a weird way your brain works.
I was sexually assaulted in the military the Army functions extremely different than what’s portrayed to the public. There’s politics involved, rank, position, who you are and who you’re affiliated with that determines the outcome. I knew if I said something my life would be made a living hell all I could do was pray for my last year at Fort Hood to be over with. I knew if I said something I was going to be treated harshly so I kept my mouth closed and head down. It doesn’t leave you, I die a little on the inside each day, you feel like you’re drowning in front of people and they can’t see or hear you. Most will say how did you get yourself in such a situation where you let another man assault you. Well when you’re out drinking and do the right thing by calling your NCO to pick you up because you don’t want to drink and drive and they tell you at the safety briefing don’t drink and drive and to call them instead. That’s how it happens I pray these guys get the help that they need because it’s definitely a struggle for me ❤
I'm sorry that you went through that and that the Democrat party continues to allow it to happen.
@@superoldgamesaturday3277pedo 45s troll!
I think you should seek professional therapy to deal with this trauma. This is not good for you. It won't start to go away until you talk to a professional about it. I wish you the best.
@@superoldgamesaturday3277 Da fuq!? it takes someone who doesn't have a lick of sense to make a statement like that.
Thank you for sharing your story. Thank you for your service to our country. Peace, love and strength to you.
This is a complicated situation. Plausible sexual predatory behavior + homophobia + military conditioning = this is going to get ugly.
oh yeah
dont ask, dont tell
Thanks for speaking up. I have never shared this but no time like the present. A staff member of a VA hospital abused me when I was a young psychology intern. It was supposed to be a "physical" but only focused on my groin. I still feel shame and embarrassment over the incident even though I realized that I was not at fault. Back then, no one would have listened, much less cared.
So glad these victims spoke up!
Thank you for sharing. These stories need to be outed so that these men are held accountable. I am proud of you. I am a victim as well. We need to give voice to these crimes.
I wonder what Jim Jordan thinks about this.
I think your brain might be fried if your first response to hearing a story about a bunch of people being SA'd is to try to use it score cheap political points.
It DOES kind of mirror exactly what happened at Ohio State, doesn't it?
The only difference is that at Ohio State, all the wrestlers knew about this doctor and let him do what he did to them anyway. These Army guys had no clue.
@@firebat1989workyou missed the whole point
@@firebat1989workNo your brain is fried for attacking someone expressing their opinion that other people also thought. You want people to focus on this story only and ignore the wider world? Go away

Covid. It was all about power and money.
@@11Garrett11Wasn’t it all about ensuring our health care system doesn’t collapse, because by practicing public health measures, we flatten the curve and minimize deaths due to covid, due to the health care system not needing to decide who lives and who dies?
Science, not conspiracy nuts.
It sounds very similar to the OSU case with Dr. Strauss who abused 177+ male wrestlers while Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) was serving as assistant coach and more than likely knew about Strauss's behavior...
True. There is only ONE major (no pun intended) difference. Those OSU wrestlers all knew about that doctor for years and years. But they let him do it to them anyway. Some even called it a 'right of passage' into the team. They made jokes about it. These soldiers had no clue.
@@retroguy9494 Whether the victims “knew” or not is not the issue here. It’s the imposition and abuse by the perpetrator. To say a victim “knew” what he or she was getting into casts a “they should have known better” guilt upon them (it’s similar to saying that women who wear provocative clothing are “just asking to be raped.”) Folks should be able to expect that those in positions of power will be held to a higher standard and not abuse that status, but that is also a in-the-best-of-all-possible-worlds scenario. Unfortunately, we do not live in the best-of-all-possible-worlds but at the very least, those who are victimized should not be made to feel THEY are at fault. Both Strauss and Stockin should be held to account (Strauss died by suicide in 2005 and left a note, the contents of which have never been released.)
@@HMFan2010exactly. The responsibility is always on the party abusing their power to victimize others. If a team knows they have to be molested to secure their career as a college athlete then that SHOWS how dysfunctional and broken the system has become in favor of the abuser.
Is that the reason Jordan prances about impersonating a "Real Man"? 🍷😮
@@AntonioPeralesdelHierro Yes, the same reason why he never wears a suit jacket: he thinks “showing off his physique” will bring all the boys to the yard...
Wow. Kudos to these brave men for speaking up. It hope it's also investigated how this was able to go on for so long. Being adult men, they've surely been medically examined before and are familiar with what is routine/normal for a doctor to do and what isn't. What kept the men from reporting things earlier and how can that be fixed? Is it the same things that keep female soldiers from reporting sexual assaults? Did anyone enable this predator? I hope these men get justice.
Well, it depends on how you look at it. As a upper middle ages adult male who has been examined more times than I can count due to numerous health issues, I can say that asking the soldier to drop his pants to examine his genitals when he came in for a neck injury should send up a warning flag immediately.
But making a big deal about 'taking a knee' to do a genital exam I think is the soldier being paranoid. Genital exams are part of a routine physical and at the same time, the doctor may check for a hernia, especially in active men. My doctor sits on a stool while I stand. Nothing weird about that.
@@retroguy9494 the soldier is just being paranoid? The soldier was reporting for shoulder pain and the doctor went on to inspect his penis. He has every right to be paranoid.
@@retroguy9494i agree. Doctors do all kinds of tests like the prostate. We all have to be naked in front of a doctors at some point in our lives, its akward but they are doctors this is part of the routine when need be.
@@jackdawkins1241 You need to go back and watch the video again and then read my comment again. These were TWO SEPARATE incidents. Which is why I said the shoulder case should send up a red flag. But the doctor getting on one knee as part of a routine genital exam is being paranoid.
@@Max-fn2et Yep. Exactly. My father had prostate cancer so they watch mine carefully. PSA blood test every year plus the prostate exam yearly. The only thing I mind about it is that it's quite painful as I have muscle inflammation. Other than that, to me, it's all part of routine preventative medicine. Having the doctor examine me naked has never bothered me, even when I was a teenager.
My husband is a veteran. I go to ALL his appointments unless he tells me otherwise. We both have a distrust in doctors - tho, it's mostly from medical gaslighting
It's good to have another ear there to remember what the doctor or dentist said, and to ask any questions, too.
Shame on you... the number of bad doctors is very small......... do you hold his hand????

I Found Another Internet Troll !!
Here's somethin for You to remember...
Behind Every Bully, there's a Coward.
Yes, when they said in the video "I usually trust doctors to know what's going on better with me than I do" I rolled my eyes. Most primary care physicians nowadays are foreign born and want to brush people off who ask for tests. They don't care and have a lack of understanding beyond the very basics.
@@japanjack62 WHO WHO WHO
there's something weird about that story
I thought so too!
I’d like to hear the Major’s answer to these allegations.
Probably "I was checking the patient for testicular cancer."
A buddy of mine found out he had it on his honeymoon when his new wife noticed a lump. Went to the doctor as soon as he got back to get it checked. Was diagnosed with metastatic testicular cancer and given six months to year to live. He died before his first wedding anniversary. He was only 27.
He's too busy rollerblading with his time off.
Just want to point out that US military committed worse sexual abuse to war prisoners around the world with just a slap in the wrist when caught. With that said, any sexual abuse is wrong. I hope these victims can find healing and peace.
Same obviously applies to all militaries throughout history and always will.
Oh lord. This is not just a US military thing during war. This happens in every country in wartime history. Certainly not justified but it is not one country issue. This is widespread.
These poor men 😢, it takes a lot of strength to speak up, truly admirable.
I would have told the Dr. "No" and go get the Chief of Staff.
My goodness! I can’t hear in the 2nd man’s voice how scared it’s made him. It’s so sad. I hope this opens the door for men to be able to speak up about sexual abuse and it’s not just women and children that are sexually abused.
Respect for those men who came forward.
The most evil thing you can do is take advantage of a persons trust.
Brave for these men to come forward, as so many men suffer in silence.
Really, do you know even one?
Men suffering at the hands of another MAN...yeah you right....its funny that today nopne is accusing these men of lying...nobody is saying it was consensual....i wonder why...hmmm

Dude is going to send gay rights back 100 years. As if there wasn't enough ammo. The military needs to change that "stuff it in your duffle bag" thing too. Sexual abuse is serious and wrecks a person's life.
Of course it makes zero sense for that to happen, but obviously people act irrationally all the time so you’re probably right.
This happens in all aspects of society sadly. Gay or straight.
Who said the doctor was gay ?
Not sure how one sicko would be reflected on a group of people.
@@rlrober I’m wondering that too this could be a prison thing. No one really assumes the inmates are gay.
Courageous to speak up. 🏅
When I was stationed on an army base overseas as a DoD civilian, I went to the clinic for a mere blood pressure prescription renewal and the doctor ended up giving me a prostate check! After agreeing to renew my blood pressure meds, he asked me if I ever had my prostate checked to which I replied that I didn’t. He then said that it would behoove me to have it checked so I agreed with him and dropped my pants and bent over on the table! So did that doctor have nefarious intentions? Maybe so but maybe not. Nobody could prove anything from that. At least my prostate was ok!
Probably was a good doctor. Prostate cancer is more common in older men but if a younger man gets prostate cancer it is BAD and can spread very, very fast. One of my former coworkers got it at around age 40 and nearly died from it.
I had a doctor check my prostate at age 19. I thought it was a bit odd but after hearing that prostate cancer is very aggressive when it strikes younger men I just realize that he was giving me a good physical and making sure everything was ok.
@trevorn9381 Agree. I think he was an OK doctor. I just recently had a very dear friend of mine of 51 years die of prostrate cancer. He was only 58. I was with him in the hospital emergency ward (I took him there cause he was urinating blood) when the tests they performed on him indicated cancer. He was dead in less than 2 years. The doctor said he probably had prostate cancer for many years. That's why yearly blood chemistries are important. Had he gotten a simple PSA test 10 years earlier, they might have caught it and knocked it out.
I needed a good laugh after all these super serious comments. Thank you for sharing your story. 🙂
Going to go out on a limb here,but,could there be a possibility of substance abuse going on here? Some patients give in to get extra meds and if the doctor cuts them off or wants something in return,it is a plausible scenario 🤔
If it was 42 women, this story would have 20x as much coverage..
Cause it happens to them the most. And men cases are treated like a "joke" and male victims are made fun of more harshly and get destroyed by their own peers cause they no longer see them as "men" . It's sad. Either if your male or female. Abuse happens.
It's all over the news...what are you complaining about?
Sad, disgusting, outrageous, and sickening but true.
And blamed by males the usual suspects
No one is willing to show their face, understably. But what I'm saying is that if no one is willing to offer a face and be known with a deep dive intrusion into their life then there is really nothing else to report at this present moment.
To go thru all the school and training to become a doctor and then throwing it all away.
Presumed innocent means nothing in the court of public opinion. Identities should be withheld until there's a conviction.
Agreed! They hide the faces of murderers
These men are crying because of this? Brave? Sounds like they’re trying to cash in🤮!
Yep. They are shaming real victims of SA. Have they been r*ped? Or had non consensual sex? No. A doctor check them naked as part of the checkup routine we all have to do sometimes when we see the doctor (prostate,testicules etc) they are weak shaking and being traumatize just for that. Like come on. They could have said no and leave. They even could have defended themselves.
Exactly!
Oh my these poor men. This cannot ever happen again!! They need to send out a mass text or message to all bases and question. Make sure this is not happening anywhere. Our country needs to do better and be there for our people
They have different forms of reaching the bases than texts . . .
Do you feel the same way qhen you hear a story about female victims?
@@BigMama2022 No I’m sure she’s thrilled about that smh
This is what women go through all the time. I was going to join the military, had to get a physical but the so called doctor told me he needed to do a pelvic exam. Disgusting. I just wonder how many other women that old guy did that to.
Do they? How many of them are lies though? A lot of them! I suggest something is wrong with this story!
There are all types of predators everywhere, from schools, medical facilities, churches, general places of work!
mostly churches
I have a feeling that this doctor may have also been a Bill Cosby. Pain management and an anesthesiologist, this guy had access to lots of drugs.
Your speculating wildly!
Let's see where the facts lead!

@@benjaminperez1149 How can I have empathy or lack thereof when I can't even figure out what you were trying to say?
You said 'my son's doctor asked him to drop his trousers although he isn't there for that.'
What patient makes an appointment with a doctor to drop his trousers? Was your son there for a physical? If so, it's part of the exam. Did he have a specific ailment that might have required the doctor to examine that region? A few years back, I went to the ER for horrible pain in my right flank. Sometimes it radiated down. Even though the pain was mostly in my flank, the doctor told ME to drop my pants and she examined that region as well as the flank area. It turned out to be a kidney stone that was stuck and I needed surgery. But I can see WHY the needed to examine other areas as well. To rule out other things.
Which is why I said your comment made no sense.
🤣 dif if ur son was asked to drop em n Dr back seat.
@@stumack9755 I’m sorry you don’t speak my language.
Shameful ! 🙏🏻🇺🇸
If the allegations about this abuse are true, then the Dr. should be punished. The fact that there are so many who claim the same thing makes it more likely that the accusations are true. More likely, but not proved.
But that so many believe that these incidents had such a huge negative effect on their psychological well being makes me think that they are trying to seek some benefit from the disclosure.
That doesn't mean that they aren't telling the truth, but it seems to me that the experiences they went through wouldn't be considered so traumatic by most male adults.
There are degrees of abuse. What is described here is definitely wrong, and should be punished, but to equate it to rape is illogical. Actual rape is vastly worse. The punishment should fit the (proven) crime.
Woman go through this as well.
Not to get deep here, but the culture of military, leaves open opportunity for people to become victims of sexual assault.
Basic training breaks down ones awareness of skepticism among their peers.
The open bathrooms and showers makes people so comfortable with being naked and exposed around each other that once they reach a military doctor, they wouldn’t exactly question being asked to “drop trou”.
The whole structure of how things are handled in the military needs to change.
These poor men ! I know it’s hard for them to discuss this
Are these guys 5 years old? They're supposed to be grown men. If someone is asking them to do something they're uncomfortable with or don't want to do, JUST SAY NO and walk out. Then report them.
I can only hope you don’t say the same thing when it’s women experiencing this…
@@DefinitelyNotAFerret , women or men, circumstances can be different.
I can understand when, say, a naive young recruit gets suddenly cornered & SAd by his decorated commanding officer who threatened him that if he tells anyone it will be "your word vs mine" and that "i'll make your life living hell".
But the situation from the video is laughable.
"Doctor, my shoulders ache" => "Say no more, soldier, unzip your pants" => "Yye-e-es, doctor" => ... => musters enough courage to cry on camera months later.
Give me a break. U could of stopped him
I hope they now know how women feel and will empathize and support women who are victimized
What they experienced takes a while to digest!
It will be a learning process. But your right. They might be more understanding of what sexual harassment and sexual assault are about. Which is power and violence against others who are perceived as being weaker and lesser, somehow!
Don’t put every man in this category. Sexual assault is never just to woman, this has been happening just as long as it’s been happening women. Men just don’t report it.
So that sexual abuse on men is coming out you say, "See! I told you so!"
I hope these gentlemen get the justice they deserve and I hope they will be able to recover from this...
What's crazy is that the majority of S.A. Victims that are military get overlooked! Did we all already forget about Vanessa!
I don't know about a case with a Vanessa. But YES! SA in the military gets brushed under the rug and officials are given immunity at times. Which is just downright insane.
They’re so lucky! Why does this happen to everyone else but me
Not funny.
🤣 Dr is hotttt.
Ew 🤢
LOL
Brave men who came forward to report these horrible crimes that the doctor has done. Hope they ALL get justice and ALL live at some point happy and peaceful lives. The doctor I truly hope gets examined every single moment in prison.
What are they calling abuse? A doctor seeing you naked?
Horrific details? What did I miss?
The story lacked specificity
I know right, I have been raped before. But I don’t think they were raped, I think the doctor just held their balls to exam as a routine
Were you not paying attention?? They are calling out a doctor who asked his patients to drop their pants and who touched their genitals even though they went to see him for _SHOULDER PAIN_ and other things that had NOTHING to do with their genitals.
I agree with you. Ok if what they say is true, its wrong. BUT calling that "abuse" or having then "shaking" like they are traumatize like come on. Doctors do all kind of test sometimes they have to put a finger inside you to check the prostate this is not an assault lol. To me they seem very sketchy trying to be victim to blame a gay man. I dont think its that serious. But i agree that the doctor should not touch private part for no reason even tho who cares, be a man.
I hate to tell you this but you can go in for shoulder pain and cuz you lifted or stretched or something and they're going to want to check your genitals to make sure you're not herniated down there as well so that's exactly what they're going to come at with a defense this guy's not going to get charged for anything cuz it's standard practice to check for a hernia down there and guess what sounds like to me these guys got a self-confidence problem in their homophobic themselves and they can't deal with a guy staring at them
I don't know cuz it's a standard practice on a physical when anytime you got shoulder or back pain or neck pain or anything they're going to check to make sure you're not herniated down there this is why a lot of these doctors don't want to do these physicals down there no more because people are too soft to make up bogus bull crap and that's why these guys walk around with testicular cancer or something because they don't get their nuts checked because they're too soft an embarrassed
grown men, victims....
All the sudden all these men come out of the wood work and say this. Not one said anything before or during he time it happened ? Sounds fishy.
Sometimes all it takes is one person brave enough to step forward, and then others who’ve been similarly affected will step up as well. Unfortunately, American society has taught men that admitting to being sexually abused is a sign of weakness and therefore something shameful that should be hidden at all costs (even the costs to themselves). This is one of the main reasons why serial sexual abusers like priests and other male authority figures were able to get away with stuff like this for so long.
What did he do to them?
@?
If you believe he actually did! I do not!
I would never just drop my pants especially if im not there for any issues below my waist- what a terrible situation
I mean, look at this, you have 4 likes, we have gone insane. There is more to this story than meets the eye. If my doc told me to drop my drawers as part of a physical fine, but if Im there for a shoulder problem and he said that, Um, pretty sure I'd question that and if need be leave.
Its called a full check up this is a money grab ..wtf pathetic
If this is what men go through, no wonder the women go through worse. This is crazy!
If he gets sent to prison, you know he is absolutely doomed.
or blessed, it depends on how you see it
People always say that and that’s rarely the case.
Oh he's definitely going to Leavenworth for life; 42 accusers, no way he'll be found innocent.
I had a n experience when I was in the military over 20 years ago...but I pretty much brushed it off. And never saw that doctor again !
It’s hardly like he entered you. Just a little touch
Thank god these men are speaking up!!!! I know it’s hard for everyone, especially men!
But the most important question here is what were they wearing?
Way to tank your career. Even if he was a complete narcissist who didn't care about his patients - and it seems that he didn't - you'd think he at least cared about himself. As a physician myself, I can't begin to imagine doing something so disgraceful - but again, even if he cared only for himself, how could he gamble all the time & money he spent building a respectable career on something where he was bound to get caught? There's clearly something wrong with the guy. Physician - heal thyself! And respect to the men who came forward. Military service is stressful enough without the added burden of an enemy from within.
Bravo!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Amen!!!
A lot of predators genuinely believe their victims are willing to be sexually engaged with. It's an almost universal thing in court cases to hear a defendant saying something to the extent, "Her clothes were too revealing or she smiled too inviting. She wanted me to do it." Also, narcissism can be a factor contributing to this delusion.
What exactly did the doctor do...he supposed to check these mens everything.
He did not do anything - that is the problem with this story. They charged him with lewd viewing! LMAO!
Creepy how he looks like Josh Dugger
FFS there should always be a third person in the room when physical exams take place.
And if the 3rd person joins in?
@@Lightdragon773THAT was your first thought? 🙄
@fumblerooskie No, it's not a bad idea to have an additional witness, but still the possibility of that person being complicit
thats called a 3some@@Lightdragon773
I’ve had a prostate exam and other such exams both with and without a chaperone. It was better not having a chaperoned, just felt more comfortable. Less awkward.
They can’t fight back but why??
The doctor is very sick. I’m amazed that he wasn’t detected in the vetting.
He passed the rainbow requirements.
This would be near impossible to vet unless there were allegations from a prior history. I've had homosexual male doctors. They should be taken as individuals and not broad brushed with some ignorant stereotype.
It’s called being a psychopath
@@francismarion6400 wait till you see the stats of male on female rape in the army
@@Rarediel Takes a sick person to justify Sod o me by saying something twisted like that.
This man is shameful. It's a terrible feeling having something happen to you and being afraid of reporting it. You become scared because you don't want to escalate anything and start to believe it was you fault. Shame
This just goes to show that even men can be sexually assaulted as well as women. I’m glad that they are speaking out about this.
Only now came out?? Cause I bet this is not the first time that army have situations like that. The only difference now is that folks have guts to speak out
300 years for this guy... 5 years for a person who does this to little humans. Uhmm.?! 👋? What is wrong with our judicial system.
amen
Not that it makes it better but they were adult men
The military has a long standing history of sexual abuse and covering it up. America has a long history of giving rapists short sentences. So I don’t see why this will be different.
@@travisxtopher exactly, so they can stand up for themselves unlike children...
The army has its own judicial systems and their punishments are often times tougher on crime
I feel so much for the victims. Even harder for them because of societies ideals about men. I am female, but I can’t even BEGIN to tell you all of the things I experienced while I was in the Army. Retaliation is an awful thing, that truly keeps you from opening your mouth. I hope that they can all heal.
Oh man up!!!
This is a very childish comment section people making jokes about guys getting SA’d or misconduct is downright disrespectful and you you should seek professional help if you can make of somebody clearly going through pain and distress
Go outside and touch grass
God bless our soldiers🇺🇸
This happens a lot in male sports but the victims are too ashamed to speak out. Only 10% is very reported. Most times the perpetrator is a very good and kind person so they just brush it of. They also married, so the victims feel no one will believe their story.
Oh, I don't know about that one dude. Take the Ohio State case which involved Jim Jordan. All those wrestlers knew about that doctor for years and years. Generations of wrestlers in fact. And the doctor was NOT a 'very good and kind person' in the eyes of those college guys. They used to make jokes about him and tease the new wrestlers when they had to see that doctor for the first time. But yet, they all let it happen to them anyway. For YEARS. Some even considered it some kind of right of passage.
@@retroguy9494 I admit, you are right. That is sad that Jim Jordan did not speak up and have the courage to do something to protect those college kids. Shameful! How does he sleep at night??
@@Dan-xx5jq Well, bear in mind that the doctor was there when Jordan was a student and was wrestling back in the mid '80's. The doctor could have put the moves on him too! We don't know. The human brain is pretty complicated especially psychologically. Perhaps Jordan fell into the same mindset as all those other wrestlers who said nothing and continued to say nothing even when those couple wrestlers reported it to him when he was a coach. So I'm not so quick to condemn him before I know the whole story and all the facts.
I've been a wrestling an since high school and wrestlers can be a strange lot.
It's truly sad and a terrible abuse of power. Disgusting.
Sorry but I can't help but laugh. You go in for shoulder pains and the doctor grabs your schmeckel? Hmm, MAYBE this is not right.🤣
So proud of all of you for speaking upthis does happen to men also
There's no way this is the biggest scandal, but I'm glad this one was exposed.
Hardly newsworthy to me. It’s basically for all the liberals out there who are watching this while their EV charges up.
He needs to be dealt with to the fullest extent the law will provide for. And also there needs to be a wider investigation because there's no way this behavior is new to him. I'd bet my last dollar that he's been doing this for years.
Bravo to the men that came forward. What makes there experience worse are all those that want to belittle, shame and victim accusing for what was obviously inappropriate acts. If you think the ridicule that these men face is bad, what do you think the men face trying to report being sexually assaulted?
I guess "never question your superior" is the main reason why this continues.
I'm an MD. I wasn't there, I'm uncomfortable with a one sided public crucifixion in the media. In my early career when I accepted emergency room on call admissions of total strangers, they got a full physical exam by me upon admission. It didn't matter if they were admitted for shoulder pain, they got a GU (genito-urinary) exam, male or female. A female admitted for pelvic inflammatory disease, I looked in her throat and her ears, and checked her knees and shoulders. You don't know what you are going to find if you don't look, and "Failure to Diagnose" is the single largest successful medical malpractice lawsuit in the United States today. This guy may be a s guilty as sin, he is innocent in my book until proven otherwise. I want to see medical charts!
So you're willing to throw common sense and logic out the window.
the testimonies of these men are courageous and do not constitute a crucifixion.
As "crucifixions" go, this was pretty darned gentle.
100 agree. I'm an MD and left medicine more than 5 years ago. I only care for my own family and friends now.
42 people aren’t concocting a conspiracy or blowing things out of context. Are you kidding?
You mean you can't turn the other way like congressmen do.
Allegations are allegations not guilt
Not today,... You're Guilty until proven Guilty.
He is not the only one….
Îm sure therés lot of doctors who do that…
I was a teen a doctor looked at my privates for no reasons…
