Student comments about reporting mistreatment and unprofessional behavior

An attending started to tell a crude joke when students were present, but was stopped by a chief resident who said, “Don’t tell that or we’ll be written up again.”
The social worker on the team patted my rear end. I went to the attending physician who reported it to the head of social work who talked with the person who denied the incident. The head of social work did apologize to me.
UVa has been excellent at non-discrimination and non-harassment. I am a gay male. I have encountered no discrimination and I do not try to hide my sexual preference.
