While a patient in a
large metropolitan hospital, a severely troubled female psychiatric
patient was raped by her psychiatrist in her room. The doctor
then recommended several electric shock treatments allegedly
in an attempt to make her forget the incident. She had very
little recall of the entire visit to the hospital as a result.
After the patient's release from the hospital, the woman was
watching a movie when one of the actors began to look extremely
familiar to her - the actor looked exactly like the doctor.
She still did not recall the rape. Later, as she was entering
the hospital for an outpatient visit, she saw the psychiatrist
standing outside the hospital, recognizing his face but not
recalling who he was. After a few days, her memory of the
rape returned and the woman called the police. No charges
were filed because so much time had passed and there was no
physical evidence. Through months of investigation, and without
physical evidence, we were able to prove conclusively that
the female patient had, in fact, been raped by the doctor.
