entered the examining room, plaintiff hugged her "like I would embrace my mother." She testified further that it took her several minutes to understand plaintiff's accent. Plaintiff did not initially ask her about her symptoms or complaints, but asked her about her sexual activity with her husband and about her husband's nationality. Mary R. stated that plaintiff continually grinned at her during the entire examination and that this behavior was unnerving to her. Mary R. informed plaintiff that she had previously undergone a hysterectomy.
Mary R. also testified that at plaintiff's instruction, she put on an examining gown and removed only her slacks and underpants. Plaintiff then pinched the nipple of each breast through the gown, her brassiere, and her blouse. Thereafter, plaintiff conducted a vaginal examination while herlegs were flat on the table and her feet were extended straight out from her body. Plaintiff did not direct her to place her feet into the stirrups of the examining table. First, plaintiff put a glove on his hand and commented to Mary R. that his fingers were very small. He then placed two or three fingers of his right hand into her vaginal cavity while his other hand rested on the table. Plaintiff manipulated his fingers in and out approximately 10 to 12 times over three to five minutes. Plaintiff did not speak to Mary R. at all during the examination except to comment that she had a very long vaginal canal. Plaintiff never asked Mary R. whether she was experiencing any pain during his examination.
