Hi there,
It’s awful you had to be subjected to what I’d consider abuse. To answer your question No, I agree he shouldn’t have done that. When I’ve been with my mom Ive seen the nurse lift her left breast under her blouse or a gown and other times go under her blouse but never touched her nipples nor were her breast’s exposed. In the first place all that breast tissue is going to make hearing the heart sounds more difficult. There are some nurses here that I’m sure will be along to explains proper placement.
I would call the the County Medical Society although your State licensing board might be a better place. But the nurses will probably have better guidance than I do. When I reported a doctor to the County Medical Society they didn’t believe me even though I had irrefutable proof of his incompetence, however we did prevail in court. In our experiences doctors support doctors and aren’t interested in facts.
I wish you luck,
Jake

Hello!
Thank you for your reply. I googled whole night about proper use of stethoscope for checking heart beat in female. I even checked videos but like you mentioned earlier it should have been done in another way 🙁 In order to be sure, I posted here. I’m still very disturbed. I’m an Asian . I think I should report it to Medical Association here. I hope no female has to go through what I unfortunately faced.
My dad was with me 5 minutes ago when I was waiting for a check up. I thought I would be safe like at the previous hospital where I was checked by a male cardiologist before. He never lowered his stethoscope around my sensitive areas. So, I told dad to pick up mom from the market. It was a grave mistake of mine.
I would never visit a male doctor alone from now onwards. I was wearing a loose official dress as I came right from office there. Never had I thought I would be abused like that 🙁 He even did not ask permission for using stethoscope there . Other doctors would say like “ I’m gonna use stethoscope for this purpose “.
It happened all of sudden. I still can’t think straight
