How to avoid sexual assualt by a plastic surgeon
How to avoid sexual assaults by plastic surgeons is something you need to be aware of if you are having any type of cosmetic surgery.
Chances are slim there will ever be a problem because most doctors are of the highest reputations, but there have been cases where some patients have been assaulted.
Here is the Peter Chi sex charge case going on now
Here are 3 tips for protecting yourself from sexual assault by a doctor
1. Check out his reputation
Go online or talk to former patients. You can gleam a lot of information from simple detective work. Do your due diligence before you enter his or her office.
If a red flag goes up during your research, follow through in your investigation. Don’t ignore potential problems.
2. Take a friend or relative with you to the consultation.
This person will act as your advocate.
If there is something you don’t understand or if something makes you uncomfortable you will have a person who can go to bat for you.
It also helps for the staff to know you are not alone. You have a network of people behind you, represented by your advocate.
3. Ask questions
During the initial consultation ask questions and get answers. By searching for information, the doctor and his staff will know you are on top of everything. The more information you have, the better armed.
You will be viewed as an intelligent patient who knows how to get information. This type of patient could be potentially dangerous to anyone with criminal intent because you will most likely get help if there is a problem.
Most doctors are honorable and of the highest reputation. Go to them.
If you suspect anything or you feel uncomfortable find another plastic surgeon.
