I’m a CMA at a pediatric clinic and I have bee working there for 3 months and I love my job but today just got me. So I was running the walk in clinic at my office by myself. I had a patient come in with pelvic pain and the doctor wanted to do a pelvic exam, being there for only 3 months and this being my first job as a medical assistant I have never done a pelvic exam. So I asked the doctor what exactly he needed and he literally pushed me towards the exam room and said just let’s go before I could explain to him I have never done this before. He was only checking her stomach and pushing down on her so I didn’t have to do anything, but then he decided he wanted to do a thin prep, which I’ve never done. So I got another medical assistant who has been working there a while. I explain to Bernice never done one before so she tells me she will help him and she will show me what to do. So we get all of the equipment the medical assistant had me hold the speculum that was attached to a light so it didn’t get tangled up so I’m holding it literally the way she gave it to me and he starts yelling at me telling me that I shouldn’t be holding it up in the air or open because it’s scary for the patient, I was holding it in the air because that’s the way it was given to me, and because I am too short that if I held it down it would get tangled. So then he’s done with swabbing and he tells me to hold the speculum so I do so, he does not tell me to throw out the speculum so I didn’t in case he wanted to use it again, then he asks for tissues so I turn to go into the cabinet to get some and he sees that there’s some under the box of gloves and I don’t know this so he starts yelling at me about that. So once he’s done he snatches the speculum our of my hand and throws it away and says “you’re done here, you can go now.” So I leave the room and I’m getting ready to go in and get my next patient and he comes out and forcefully tapped my shoulder and says in front of everyone “you need to learn how to do that before you go into an exam room to do that again. He made me feel so stupid and was talking to me like I was dumb. I was so embarrassed and I explained to the medical assistant before she was showing me what to do that I’ve never done it before. I was so hurt and upset that I went in the bathroom and cried for a good 10 minutes. Then an hour later the medial assistant came to me and gave me a hug and told me not to worry about what he said that he is very mean. But it still bothers me. My mother told me I should go to HR and tell them that he forcefully put his hands on me but I really don’t know what to do. But I really don’t think I want to work there anymore.
