She trusted the doctors and the white
coat so much! Before this reckless case
she believed all those wearing the white coat truly believed in the Hippocratic
oath, she would not have thought that they would consider breaking the oath or
in fact break that oath.
“The time
comes when the intelligent keep quiet, when the fool speaks up, and the looser
and failure gets rich!“ To be a doctor,
does not necessarily mean to be smart or kind, just like being a journalist
does not mean that you always tell the truth.
I am not either one or the other, but not because I am trying to look
smart or because I am a fool from Ivo Andric's quote. I spoke up because the
system forced me to do it. The system
that did allow me to learn doesn't alllow me to be compensated properly for
what I am trained to do. Therefore, just
like everybody else I started the fight for survival and the tasks I had never
done so far. Due to inadequate payment
by the employers, which is similar across B&H, I worked illegally, wrote
columns and volunteered.
It was only
recently that I wrote in one column how “we pay their incompetence with our
lives“ and that there are less and less honest people who want to deal with
politics while there are more and more “spoiled“ that enter the field of
politics with the goal of influencing the series of events in line with
personal interests. However, even though
more and more doctors are deciding to deal with politics instead of improving
their medical field competence by continuous education and learning. It is their patients that are paying for that
calous disreguard of the need for improvement with their life or a life-long
impairment.
The case of
rape through a surgical method, medical deflowering, actually taking away the
virginity of a 35 years old Tuzla woman through a gynecological exam is an
example of how a skilled and educated Dr
didn't care about the job that they do for a living, just like the journalists
that the victim addressed after experiencing the causalty.
As advised by
the neuropsychiatrist, a nice colleague, the victim went to the local newspaper
“Dnevni Avaz“ to tell the story of a “gynecological case“ with nn initials,
however, they refused to publish the story.
As a reason they cited, “look, you are going to do yourself the most
harm.” First, they wanted to find out
all the details, and then again stated the following: listen, it would not be
good to do this because of you, they will take the story out of context and
will harm you even more that way, „as if they are actually caring about me,“
told the victim in the converation we held.
Yet, she
trusted the doctors and the white uniform so much! Before the reckless case, it was her oath,
yet she did not know that they could swear opposite to the Hippocrates oath.
Once the
employees of a gynecological clinic became aware of the committed error,
they immediately didn't allow the victim
to do additional exams and gather evidence so that clear statements can be made
to prove that the rip/fissure of hymen is from the robust object. Whever she went, all the medical institutions
in Tuzla Canton as well as health care centers, and especially University
Clinical Center Tuzla, knew about the medical error so that it was difficult to
get two partly different medical opinions, but the victim did just that. One is
from the University Clinical Center Tuzla and the other one is from specialist
gynecological clinic Bijeljina. The
University Clinical Center Tuzla is trying to dispute what the clinic in
Bijeljina is saying by refusing to acknowledge Bijeljina
findings as it corresponds with the truth and they do not want the truth.
The Tuzla
victim is highly educated, with highly developed moral characteristics and
personality features as well as conciousness.
Due to this incident she experienced lack of energy, will, motivation
for life and activities, and was in desperate need of assistance, many refused
to help her. She continued to live, but
consequences upon her health are still present.
Besides the physical pain, she experienced fear that is present even
today and isn't going away due to lack of trust for medical personnel.
The biggest
problem is that her honor and reputation is defamed. Viriginity is everybody's right and choice
and has a specific meaning in psychological and emotional sense for
everyone. This is especially true due to
the fact that the destruction actually disrution of hymen was done with the
robust object, actually medical instrument and by the recognized medical practitioner-specialist,
that in this concrete case did not pay attention to the victim's warning that
she is a virgin and that she has pains; she continued to intrude, insert, and
push the speculum. The doctor continued
with the UNNECESSARY procedure that left life-long consequences on the
victim.
Thus, a
recognized doctor did not take seriously or did didn't belive the victim's
warning that she is a virgin, and that is why they did not record it, even
though that question is a part of regular gynecological procedure for examining
patients. And instead of a usual rutine
gynecological exam, the doctor started with the INVASIVE GYNECOLOGICAL METHOD
with the largest speculum by inserting it forcefully upon a virgin, without any
indication that this is necessary, even though it is well-known that this
method is not conducted upon virgins but only sexually active women. Therefore, absolute irresponsibility,
unprescribed work that is not in line with the valid gynecological procedures,
nonprofessionalism as well as haughtiness and brutality of medical personnel, has caused life-long
consequences for the victim.
What to
say? Perhaps we could say to the least
that we are living in the society of easily gained or purchased degrees upon
which a butcher or a pastrycook becomes a specialist gynecologist or a criminal
becomes am expert witness, high policeman, prosecutor and a judge.
Regardless of
how it is, the above mentioned case ended up at the court, however, if it
happens that a criminal bought the degree of a judge; regardless of how it will
be, the end result of a court suit is well known in advance. How long we are going to watch and suffer
mistreatment and abuse of a small grup of people on the majority of people
depends on us.
I shudder
when some people are saying that they are unemployed demobilized soldiers, how
highly educated they are yet are still at the employment biros.
No, you are not fighers, nor are these other
ones educated. You are just one number,
one statistical unit, one out of used wretches that do not have basic
conditions for life....
