TW: This article discusses allegations of medical battery and may be triggering for some readers. If you or someone you know has experienced similar violations, please seek support.
A TikTok video by 20-year-old Michigan creator Hanna Martinez has caught a lot of attention, racking up over 250,000 views. In her video, she warns women—especially those in Macomb County—about troubling allegations against an OBGYN. After sharing her own traumatic experience at Henry Ford Macomb County Labor and Delivery, 30 more women reached out to her with similar stories, raising serious concerns about patient safety and consent.
What Happened
Hanna claims that the OBGYN Dr. Laurie Stanczak committed medical battery by touching her without consent multiple times during her appointment. Even after Hanna withdrew her consent, she alleges that the doctor refused to remove her hands. These serious allegations have led Hanna to file a complaint with the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), emphasizing the urgent need for accountability.
Warning: The details shared in her story can be quite graphic and hard for some:

Many victims deal with feelings of betrayal and trauma, which can undermine their trust in medical professionals. It’s clear that these shared experiences are prompting important conversations about the need for support and understanding.
Community Support
The response on TikTok has been overwhelmingly supportive, with many rallying around Hanna and amplifying her message. Social media has become a powerful platform for raising awareness and creating a safe space for discussion. As more women come forward, the possibility of legal action grows. Filing complaints with LARA is a crucial step for seeking justice and accountability. These allegations also bring to light serious ethical issues surrounding patient consent and trust in healthcare. The allegations highlighted in this situation stress the importance of listening to and supporting survivors of medical misconduct. As more women share their stories, there’s hope for real change and healing in the community. By standing together, victims can spark important conversations about consent and accountability in healthcare, paving the way for a safer future for all patients. Hanna's complaints were originally able to be found verbatim on Dr. Stanczak's Google Reviews page but has since been removed. Hanna has since made another TikTok where she urges other women to share their experiences with the OBGYN.
