‘My world is broken, and will never be the same’: Sexual abuse of doctors by doctors

Dr Louise Stone.

In 2014, I looked after a junior doctor who was sexually assaulted by her boss.

As a GP with 30 years of experience managing mental health and sexual trauma, I was surprised how challenging it was to manage that consultation.

In retrospect, I should have expected it.

She was a doctor, he was a doctor, and I was a doctor, so it was understandable that she felt uncomfortable seeking help in the profession that had caused such harm.
