@mamaachelle In addition to this practice being non-consensual, it also removes the extremely important teaching point that pelvic exams can be PAINFUL and TRAUMATIC. Talking to the patient, reassurance, and performing the exam as gently as possible are all removed in this situation.

@TheBikingLawyer @BikeLaneDiary On my cycle home, every intersection from King/Bathurst to King/Jarvis is blocked between about 4-6pm. Streetcars can’t move, pedestrians weaving through the cars, cyclists trying to avoid the streetcar tracks…. It’s a mess. And the drivers don’t even look embarrassed 🤦‍♀️😅

@wahope18 @TorontoStar She had right of way and was on a crosswalk. The driver turned right over the crosswalk, ran over her, didn't realise and drove away. It was described as a "momentary lapse" and he was "otherwise a generally good employee". Whether he actually drives TTC again, I don't know.
