How do you know if a doctor or trusted medical professional crosses a line? It can be difficult for some people to recognize that they may be a victim of sexual assault – especially when it’s happening under the guise of medical care. In the video above, Dr. Phil outlines four signs that your doctor may be crossing the line. These include:

          • If your request for a chaperone is denied
          • If you, or parts of your body, are left bare for no reason

          • If your doctor wants to be “friends”
          • If you are being touched in ways that make you uncomfortable

Trust yourself, advocate for yourself, and most of all, know your rights as a patient.
