marc has girded up his loins and is heading for a medic.

Those who know him well will know that he must be seriously concerned because he is very afraid of doctors

That is hopefully the best solution. Marc, sorry for missing you earlier -- I am thinking of you. My best wishes for a swift and positive resolution. David

Marc told me that i didnt know how afraid he was of doctors and the hospital. he said he was scared, and i was scared too.. but i do know that he'll get back, and be better in no time. being positives a good thing, rather then being sad.

I know it will have been awful, both painful and because of memories. But it will heal, and, while the memories will have been unpleasant, you know, now, that people can handle those parts of your body with kindness, too.

Hi marc

the chance of that happening must be one in a million, i do hope that the damage will heal quickly, a rubber ring may help.

I'm proud of you, Marc. You're brave. But there was no reason to be scared. And now it'll be better. As you will see.

I can't imagine what it must be like to go through an event that would traumatize me so deeply. And the worst part, as I see it, is to have it happen in a place where a person goes for compassionate care. Entering a hospital should give us a sense of relief knowing our hurts are to be soothed.

What if you were to find a physician and force yourself to have a semi-annual check-up? Perhaps if you gave him a bit of your history he would approach you in a more understanding manner. If you required some type of hospitalization again in the future, you could ask to have your doctor attend you. Or you could call him first and have him meet you at the hospital. Having a person there that you trusted might provide some solace. Just a thought mind you. I dunno.

As an insurance agent for a number of years, I may have some ideas. Were you in a friend's yard when this happened? If the friend is a homeowner he will have liability and medical coverage under his home insurance. He may be willing to submit this as a claim against his insurance. And there is nothing shady about it as this is what the coverage is for.

Actually I was in a public park at an event which we set up a booth... this being the case all the proper disclaimers were in place.

All that set aside... I don't really live in a litegeous (sp) world.

You are only litigious if you are suing someone. There are avenues of approach that don't need to involve courts and lawyers. You say you don't have any medical insurance - but the truth is that there are insurance policies set up all around us. People and organizations are paying premiums for this insurance and it is there to be used. If you were setting up a booth for a national organization the likelihood is that they carry insurance. They may be required to as a provision for setting up in that public park. Contact the organization and explain what happened. They may very well have coverage for their volunteers. Don't just assume you haven't any options. I'm not saying you need to sue people. Just do your homework and look into all avenues available. You certainly have nothing to lose.

Thanks guys....

I feel a little better this morning... the medicine they gave me at the hospital is making me moer sick than my boo boo is. I still have to try and get three prescriptions filled today... i'll see if my dad can come by... his car is alot more comfy than my little thing...

i slept most of the day yesterday and that helped a bit too... i usually only get 2 or 3 hours of sleep a day...

now that all the horror has past.... i understand what all of you say about just getting past this and do it...

I do try... it took a lot for me to walk in there by myself. when i was in there everything became a blur of what was happening in the here and now and what was happening a long time ago. the doctors were not being mean to me the other night but i just could not rationalize their actions that way... to me it felt like rape... just as it did 40 years ago...

i know that all these feelings are inside me and i should be able to supress them but sometimes, when something happens or something is said in just the right way i am right there in that room with the same people from that time when i wasa kid.

i'm sorry if sometimes i dont deal with these things well... but i do try... i have to because if i give in then they win. if i give in then there will be nothing left inside of me to fight for.

i do the best i can.... somedays it is easy... somedays its not.

You’ve made it through to this point with flying colors dude, why stop now?

I doubt they will have to do anything invasive at this point.

Marc if your still having problems tomorrow, do go in, if they want to do something you’re not happy with talk with them about alternatives. I hope you’ll understand what I’m going to say here Marc, I don’t want to hurt you, but look, as long as you let the victimization you experienced in youth control you, you will remain a victim. Take control now!

Huge Hugs



People will tell you where they've gone
They'll tell you where to go
But till you get there yourself you never really know
Where some have found their paradise
Other's just come to harm
