A difference?

I was going to blog about something totally diff tonite or early this afternoon.  Tho, that isn't the case now. 

Lets just say I've been fixated on a song that has been in my head (FYI, it doesn't help that I have it on disc and play it my car) I think it is the chorus, but whatever at this point. 

All I can say, is that I've had a few patients over the years that were beaten down by their boyfriends/husbands, and it isn't pleasant to nurse these patients.  If they survive, they don't press charges, the court systems prosecute some of them, and then, not so many.

I've thought about being a sexual assault team nurse.  That would mean doing rape kits-vag swabs, etc.  Could or would I make a difference?  I don't know.  Maybe?  Tho being on a trauma floor early in my career and in the unit for most of my career, the answer would be a resounding "NO!"  For some reason these women are scared or just plain bullied into going back to their existence.  Tho, I'm generalizing, but for the most part it is a given.

I'll leave you with the video of the music that has been haunting me the last week or so.
