It sounds as though you did the correct thing in contacting your state representative. She will get the ball rolling for you.
She and the states attorney will investigate to see why there hasn't been any additional investigation, and why the person who did this was not arrested.
You can also contact the health department, the AMA, and the state licensing bureau, but at this point, I would wait to see what the state's attorney will do.

State's attorneys are the ones who would file criminal charges against him and possibly the hospital. It will most likely involve a trial (unless he pleads guilty). It will help you find your peace of mind; if you want monetary compensation (I would not blame you if you did), that would be a civil attorney. If he's convicted, he'll definitely be put behind bars and be out of the hospital. I'm sorry you have to go through this.

Contact the Ombudsman in your state or the state department of health immediately! This should have been done first thing. The department of health is the governing body of government that investigates allegations of abuse and you were ABUSED! I am amazed that this was not done and pray you are going to be OK..

I generally do not approve of lawsuits against hospitals because they drive up the cost of care for everyone. This case is different, because it is a delibrate act, not an accident. If the hospital management cares more about their finances than about patient safety, a lawsuit may make them see him as a liability.

You need to find out who owns/controls the hosptial; usually it is a huge group such as Tenet. Tehn you need to call the corporate office and talk to the CEO, COO, CIO or someone high up and tell them what happened. I assume you told the police. I would do everything in my power to get the word out; it is shocking he is still there, how can that be? ALL the patients are in danger!
Also call the newspapers and the lovcal TV news stations and tell the station managers and the news editors. Whatever you have to do, do it to get the word out and get some action!
I was attacked in my apt years ago and 17 other women were also attacked and out of that number I was the onl;y one who called the police. When they caught him he was climbing out the window of another pat a few blocks over.

do you know the identity of the person ? this is incredible . whatever you do don't give up your fight . God bless you .

OMG rainbows!

1- he should have been question about this and should not be working there, He is a danger to other people.
I really don't know what is going to happen I'm sorry tho that should have never happened to u.

k~dizzle

yes, that should of been done first. and the guy most likely will be taked away from patients.

im sorry about what happened lisa and i hope they catch him but until they've got the dna test to prove who it was then they can't do anything because if they remove someone and it wasnt them then they could be sued for it but as soon as they get the results that will prove who did it then they will remove him and put his sorry butt in jail...i hope your recovering ok and i am thinking of you :) and yeah i think they should have been contacted i dont live in the usa i live in the uk but im just guessing that they should of done it as soon as possible

TOO SHORT

do the president of the hospital no this you did the right thing he will get caught he will not get away with this .....

butterfliesRfree

I'm surprised they haven't at least put him on paid or unpaid suspension until a trial.....that is odd!! Have charges not been brought on him yet? Has he been arrested or charged?

Sorry..all too typical.

Get a lawyer. He'll probably be more reliable than an open-source discussion board like yahoo answers.

jackie omg! blah blah blah

awww omg im soo sorry
he should deffently lose his job.

Smartypants.

Tell them you know who he is and want to not be near him, and that he shouldnt be working near patients

look at the truth

Are you ok how did this happen?
im so sorry who ever did it is a little freak who cant get a girl.

I am sure three are 2 sides to this story.

Are you prepared for the information that might come back if it is not favorable?

NONAME

An unusual story.

I htink you are making fun of a serious situation here. DNA tests come back in days, not months. I doubt that a rape victim has the nerve to post her experience in a message board, especially when it reveals potential evidence and could easily defamate her case.

Get another cheap thrill, rape victims deserve more respect and empathy than that

ronexy_roza

im so sorry if i were you i would kill him

5 months waiting for DNA results??? You should have called hospital security and then then the cops right afterward.
