You could get a pelvic exam while unconscious without knowing it happened. Some states have put limits on it, but then they can bury it in the T and Cs you sign and do it "technically" with your consent and not tell you. So unfortunately the privacy and dignity you think you have from the medical system isn't as good as you think.
