Practicing Pelvic exams

A commenter asks:

I've been in practice for 30 years,and teach medical students.I went to med school in Vt and FP residency in Mn. I never heard of practicing pelvic exams in woman under anesthesia. Was this the standard practice in any medical school or an urban myth?

Practicing pelvic exams in women under general anesthesia was not done when I was a medical student (93-97) or resident. Can any older docs confirm if this was ever done??
