The divorced dads tell me they know what it is like but as a physician who was falsely accused I will tell you a divorce won’t kill your career. A divorce fueled allegation won’t destroy your marriage, divorce has already done that. I do believe it is a bit different to go from being a professional pillar of the community with decades of professional service without a single blemish, in fact I was NEVER once sued for malpractice in 35 years. To go from that to “rapist” in ten minutes who has to put their life on hold while other hands decide if your life gets blown apart or not is a bit different than adding “and he hit me” to a divorce that is already in progress. That should be expected now days from what I hear. But to have a woman blow your life up because she didn’t know a PAP was SUPPOSED to be followed by a pelvic is a bit much. And to be taken seriously by your colleagues sort of destroys your trust in THEM, too.
This is why you have a female in the room, even if you’ve delivered the lady’s baby.....I’m a doctor too. In our profession, if you’re reported you are guilty until proven innocent....
