I’ve overheard conversations about 2 different residents at a well-known East Coast academic hospital allegedly being involved in serious sexual assault allegations/rape cases.

Honestly it’s disturbing to think these are people caring for others. I know allegations aren’t convictions, but it still makes me uneasy that multiple situations like this are apparently floating around the same program.

What I can’t wrap my head around is how people get screened all the way through med school, residency interviews, references, etc and still end up involved in situations like this. Is this more common in medicine than people realize or is this just a rare but highly visible thing?
