How could this happen? A doctor, seven victims and the silence in small health centers

Answer

Why can abuse go unnoticed in small health centers in Mallorca?

Small village health centers often rely heavily on trust, and patients may be seen alone in cramped examination rooms. In places like Binissalem or Alaró, there may be no companion present and little formal documentation of what happened during an exam. That can make it easier for boundaries to be crossed without immediate alarm.
