Wow! IMO a Dr. should never hug a patient at all without asking first. It's not good boundaries otherwise and there are ethics that define what good boundaries are in a Dr./Patient relationship.
Add to the fact that he not only didn't ask you but hugged you 1) with your pants down and 2) from behind. I would feel totally violated. That is creepy and 100% unacceptable. I would not hesitate to report that to the board of medical examiners. It might even be worth doing an internet search to see if he has already had any violations against him. The board makes that information available and accessible to the public. I believe that your Dr. really crossed the line and you should NOT return for a visit. I would seek out a second opinion and see if those injectible antibiotics are even necessary for an eye infection. Often times a Dr. will give one AB injection and then dispense oral antibiotics. I'm a little suspicious of the whole thing. If you are not sure how to report this Dr., you might even talk to the Dr. that you seek a second opinion from about this whole thing and see if he can direct you where to go.

If you want to make your trolling more interesting, ask more believable questions.
They don't give you an antibiotic shot in the butt or an eye infection, let alone require one two days in a row.
If this were a legit question, the Dr. would be brought up on ethics and malpractice charges. Someone who thought they had been abused by a Dr. would never return to the same Dr.

You got to be kidding!!! If you even have to ask this question there is something very wrong. YES this behavior is wrong. Since you are female with your pants down why wasn’t there a female in the room with you? Why didn’t you scream, yell, cry and run out?
You need to go down to the police station and report a crime because that is what happened. Just because this person is a doctor doesn’t make his action right. At the very least go and tell you father or other real men who know what to do.
When you go back take the local police with you and point him out that is unless you like being a victim of this kind of sick behavior.

No, do not contact a lawyer. He has done nothing illegal. It was just a misconduct. You should file a complaint to the American Medical Association (I do not know whether or not that is what it is called in the US). He should face a disciplinary hearing. If he found guilty of misconduct, he could be fined or suspended. Meanwhile, you should go to another doctor and never go back to see him again.

It is highly inappropriate. I have a feeling that you might be underage and this is why he took an advantage of you. But again, why are you getting a shot from the butt? There are other methods too!

It is certainly improper conduct. When you go back, ask for a nurse to give you the shot or to be present when it is given. Then find a new doctor. You might want to file a complaint with the medical board in your state.

do not go back. any form of touch not associated with diagnosis is wrong. if he said you had cancer and patted your shoulder, fair enough. hugging you while your pants were down... tell your dad see what he thinks, just keep any guns away from him. report it for your own or somebody Else's sake.

DO NOT go back. Are you of age? If not tell your parents. If so, tell your lawyer.
