What the hell are we doing?!

Just saw this article:

Yes, it's disgusting. But what bothers me more isn't that it's happening...

What bothers me is what this means for my profession. It means that lawsuits are going to start coming out the wazoo from people who either a) don't know what's involved in what we do (appropriate physical exams) or b) see us as an easy lawsuit target.

I've been doing this for two years. It's not very long, but in that time I have *never* worked with someone who would even consider doing something inappropriate.

What is the world coming to?
