Posting this now as I could drop dead tonight

I was raped in Barton Hospital by 2 visiting nurses six years ago and have not gotten over it, mostly because Barton continued its negligence by not giving me a lick of help dealing with it.

It's too late for me to file a lawsuit so I am posting the story of this incident on my blog instead.

Barton Medical Center acted like nothing happened, so with this blog post I curse them.

I don't care if I have a heart attack. I'll lie on the floor and die rather than have an ambulance take me to any Barton medical facility. I keep repeating that line to myself so decided it's time to write this down.

I was raped in Barton hospital in South Lake Tahoe December 27 2019. I reported it and reported it to them, and no one from Barton ever gave a damn. Then about a year later they were emailing me that I was overdue for tests and I told them, I can't come back there until you help me deal with being raped in your facility and they ignored me and instead again said time for your next well patient test so I was more adamant that I NEED HELP DEALING WITH BEING RAPED IN YOUR HOSPITAL.

They emailed back, file a police report. 

So I got to have the humiliating experience of reporting how a male and female nurse finger banged me during the night in the orthopedic unit while they thought I was asleep, which I know now is rape because I was penetrated without consent.

I thought Barton was telling me I had to file a police report in order to get help from Barton so I called SLTPD and they did not have a SVU so I explained to a young man what happened, then waited for Barton to finally respond, contact me, so I'd get some kind of therapy after this incident.

I didn't know how to describe what had happened to me then, in fact I've spent a lot of the last six years in a state of turmoil about this, and SHOCK that no one gave a damn. Plus it's not first time I've been raped. The total give a fuck attitude of the only doctors in town left me feeling like it's my karma, my fate, no matter what I do some predator will get to me, even now in my old age.

My only way to deal was to decide to never go to a doctor again.

However, at age 77 in this small town in order for me to have services I need like paratransit and home caregiver, I have to get a doctor's approval and only medical center there is within reach is Barton where they left me in a state of abuse and neglect and allowed me to get raped and did NOT EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE I WAS DAMAGED BY THE EXPERIENCE.

It's taken me this long to realize how damaged this incident made me. It's long past any statute of limitations. Barton is staffed by professionals. They should have known.

Now I'm supposed to trust them, to keep an appointment at their clinic like an ordinary patient and everything is fine, in order to get the services I need.

I'd rather die on my floor.

Where I live in senior housing I have to leave space through my rooms in case a gurney has to take me away, a manager reminded me this week. I said, no I'll never call an ambulance to take me to that medical center where I'll be neglected and likely abused again. 

I'd rather just die on my floor.

All I needed from Barton was some therapy, some help dealing with the experience.  Barton was so afraid to admit something happened and maybe get sued that they had NO CONCERN AT ALL for my wellbeing; and so I will never trust them. I will likely die before my time because I have no way to see a doctor or help with my home or a ride to a park as I become more and more crippled, unless I interact with a criminal organization that aided and abetted my sexual assault on their premises. I have to treat them like they're decent and even be grateful they took time to fill out my forms.

NO.

BECAUSE OF BARTON HEALTH'S NEGLIGENCE AND INCOMPETENCE AND SHOCKING LACK OF PROFESSIONAL MEDICAL ETHICS I'LL DIE BEFORE MY TIME.

It's too late for me to file a lawsuit so I am posting the story of this incident on my blog instead. Maybe another victim of Barton negligence will act faster than I did after reading this. Maybe the wealthy guys who run that nonprofit will … die in pain with no medical care like I am doing now.

Think of me with your last groan, you doctors of malpractice.

maybe now I can feel some closure at least

now at least somebody knows

PS Since Barton refused to listen or take down any details, how do we know this hasn’t happened before, often ?
