A Katy mother was outraged after she claimed a school-contracted doctor crossed the line when he took her teenage daughter’s pulse.
She says despite the multiple pulse points on the body, the doctor took her pulse in the groin area. Furthermore, she says she doesn’t believe Katy ISD will stop it from happening again to other children.
Beverly Smith recalled that on May 11th, she said her 13-year-old twins, a boy and a girl, both Katy ISD athletes, went to get physicals for strength and conditioning training. The doctors working for Medical Colleagues of Texas were contracted through the district.But Smith says her daughter who saw a different doctor, described a very different experience about the way he took her pulse.
Smith says her daughter was traumatized and anxious, and speaking to the athletic director didn’t ease the concerns. A spokesperson with the Medical Colleagues of Texas said the physicals are conducted in accordance with established medical protocols.
