Horror stories amongst gynecologists, with their prevalence, have now become dinner-time conversation—slowly normalizing situations that should never be considered routine. This kind of acceptance leads to ambiguous and varying moral stances taken up by health professionals, ones not merely dictated by medical ethics but also overshadowed by the cultural norms of conservative societies in South East Asia.
