Medical protocol for emergency treatment of rape victims
Abstract
Our overriding concern in writing the following protocol is that the rape victim is well taken care of by emergency room personnel including doctors, nurses, aides, etc. If any of you feel that some of what follows is obvious, please accept that our experiences have, shown us repeatedly that, there is ignorance and insensitivity around rape and rape victims in hospital settings as well as elsewhere.
