An Australian radiographer has been banned from working for the next 18 months after admitting he pulled a woman's underpants down without her consent and spread her legs to expose her vagina.
Disgraced radiographer, Pei Ren Un, admitted to untying the patient's robe and pulling her underwear down without her consent according to the ABC.
While she was on her back with her knees bent, Mr Un then proceeded to push her knees apart, exposing her genitals.
He then admitted, according to the ABC to responding to the woman's efforts to cover up her exposed body with a robe with words to the effect of "Why bother, I have seen it all anyway".
Mr Un, was taken to the State Administrative Tribunal this month by the Medical Radiation Practice Board of Australia reported the ABC.
