And from a physician's perspective here's something I missed, perhaps in my desire to think the worst of the other side which is, according to my beliefs, a sin, and for that I am sorry.
Take a look again at her picture. Imagine being her assailant. Imagine you are being assaulted. Hard to carve a letter in someone's face with them screaming and fighting. Especially hard to do it without breaking the skin. Shit. Stupid of me. My sincere apologies.
With my apology out there I will add this... We do sexual assault exams in the ER for cases of alleged rape etc... If you are an ER doc and you have a different experience than this then please chime in... I estimate that about one in ten of these exams goes to trial. Why? because the other nine are just like the above story, or go something like this...
Me: So, tell me what happened so we can make sure you are okay.
Patient: Well, I went dancing with my friends and drank a gallon of vodka. Today I woke up and my head hurt and my pants were on backwards... I think I may have been raped.
Nope, my experience is the same as yours.
ReplyDeleteIn pediatric cases, it's even more frustrating since many of those seem to be Mom's trying to get leverage against Dad's during divorce proceedings.
Apology accepted. Funny how prior opinions affect the way things are processed in our minds.
ReplyDelete911....
ReplyDeleteI used to be a SANE nurse until one day, I woke up and realized that about 99% of my cases were bullshit.
The real pain in the asses, and the majority of my cases were various meth head women who during arrest for any litany of offenses would get to booking and, and then say, "oh yes I was raped yesterday" They knew the exam would take hours and instead of having a cop sit with her...would just let her go. It became a "get out of jail" card. Most would doze through my exam.
And yes...the taxpayers paid for all these exams.
I felt these women were committing moral treason against those that suffer the devastation and tragedy of a true rape.
But my feeling about rape have always been extremely politically incorrect. Not sure when you went to college (I am 37 now) but I remember the hysteria of the "date rape" phenomenon propagated by the feminazi brigade who I knew were staying in every night. I am just happy I was not a typical hot blooded college male coed just innocently trying to get some nookie in those days.
To this day, I get coeds who want a rape exam simply because they have woken up and can't remember what they did the night before....haven't we all been there LOL It makes me just want to give them all a copy of dissident feminist Camille Paglia's "Rape and Modern Sex War" and send them on their way.
Fact or fiction, I don't know, but shouldn't the MSM be investigaing the daylights out of this?

dear amy,
ReplyDeletedoubt it will matter... he's already admitted to socialist policies and people don't seem to care. one possible answer is that they do, in fact, care, and the old media, as exemplied by the NYT, knows that they will be irrelevant in the near future so they are 'all in' for obama and the polls are not accurate. if he loses, wonderful. if he wins he may skate to the middle which would be no worse than Carter. if he implements his plans then he might well end America as we kmow it. it will be a slow and painless death i think.
whitecap nurse says: 16 years of ER nursing & I've NEVER had an alleged sexual assault that I a) believed was righteous or b) went to trial. That said, I have had patients who were beat up and came in unconscious who may also have been raped.
ReplyDeleteOh well. Rather than piss and moan like little bitches, you could instead say, "Hey, this is pretty good job security." Instead, you whiners are crying yourselves out of a job. Which is just as well.
ReplyDeleteYou have no business being a SANE nurse with an attitude like that. At least you have the courage to admit your biases and move on.
I really love that people can call me a "little bitch" and tell me what "business" I can and can't have while hiding behind the ever brave and courageous "anonymous" namesake.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are right I had no "business" wasting my precious time and expertise on women that made a mockery out of what is truly a horrendous crime.
If you are referring to my attitudes about date rape and my identifying with Camille Paglia ...well that's just tough. As a woman, I will NEVER, ascribe to the leftist intellectual feminist movement which is based on nothing but baseless whining and perceived "victimhood" politics. Women living under the Taliban..now they have some legitimate gripes...women living in the US.....not so much.
Hey Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteDid you get the license plate number of the anon that just did that drive by? You're right, that takes guts!
Yo! Get yo sorry ass outta our hood!
Go Jennifer!!! I just love what you have to say - you are eloquent and funny! Keep it coming. You are one smart cookie

ReplyDeleteBravo, Jenifer. You're the first woman I ever heard or read that felt like that. How come women don't stand up against all these false accusations of rape from other women? Why do the majority of women stand by while the minority of women make it hard to catch REAL rapists?
