Likewise, during my grade school years a kid couldn’t go to summer camp without a MD signed validation of having passed a physical exam that always included a hernia check, a two-fingered digital exam into the upper scrotal sac. “Now cough for me, abraxis.” Cough, cough, I did, shamelessly without reservation.Wow! A Dr here in Ft Wayne recently wrote a letter to the editor in the Journal Gazette in support of Dr Bomba. Basically he said that digital rectal exams were commonplace for years in through physical exams.
If these guys were so traumatized why didn’t they come forward years ago? Calling what I said was pathetic, what do you know. Your a nothing more than clickbait!There are distinct indications for doing a rectal exam and it is NOT done in the absence of signs and symptoms, especially in children and adolescents. It is not a routine screen. Further, the examiner should explain the reasons for the procedure and obtain verbal consent.
Indications
Calling these guys "dead beats" looking for a payday is pathetic.
- Change in bowel habit
- Prostate evaluation
- Rectal bleeding
- Urinary or fecal incontinence
The "good" doctor was part of the RMK machine and one need remember the players were at the mercy of the physician who has the ability to keep them off the court. We all heard the same invective language with the wrestlers that Gym Jordan didn't protect at OSU before an investigation was done.
I would suggest we all learn the facts from a honest investigation before we pontificate.
I’ve had lots of physicals and never a digital rectal exam.Wow! A Dr here in Ft Wayne recently wrote a letter to the editor in the Journal Gazette in support of Dr Bomba. Basically he said that digital rectal exams were commonplace for years in thorough physical exams.

Especially when you're an athlete who has a very public persona.If these guys were so traumatized why didn’t they come forward years ago? Calling what I said was pathetic, what do you know. Your a nothing more than clickbait!
