How can you tell if a doctor is likely to sexually abuse you?

Are there any signs or language with which one can identify such kind of doctors?

gp fondled patients and lied about illnesses

Edit: I had to remove the details, when I described my experience with a GP and was ridiculed for it. Thankfully, I know this is not an isolated incident, this is a serious issue. This was reported just a few days ago.

I know my answer sounds like a pithy answer, but I seriously hate questions like these because I don't think they can be answered. We can't be there with you when you go to the doctors as a litmus test of trust. The same applies with teachers and counsellors. All I can say is to do what you think is right. Try to see things with an open mind whilst keeping yourself grounded. Doubts are for helping you make decisions, and assumptious conclusions are for helping you escape and change your decisions.

Some people don't understand that, and they caste their first doubt away and then stick with it. Those people have their head in the clouds and are not grounded. You'll see those people make the wrong choices and have a false sense of security around people all the time.

My advice would be to consult someone to verify the claims of doctors, if you have any doubts and trust your instincts.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
