Being unhandcuffed long enough to strip before the doctor walks in and, frequently without permission or warning, inserts an unlubricated transvaginal ultrasound inside your body as someone looks on. If you’re lucky, the LaSalle guard was nice enough to let you keep cuffs off. /2
Bleeding vaginally for days after receiving a medically unnecessary shot of Depo Provera. /3
Being told you’ve got cysts “the size of a cantaloupe” or “a golf ball” or an enlarged uterus like you’re 16 weeks pregnant, only to find out the cysts they removed were normal and benign and never needed to be operated on in the first place /4
Waking up handcuffed to a hospital bed not knowing what happened to your body during surgery or why /5
Being thrown in medical isolation - basically solitary confinement - if you dare to complain about the care you’re getting. /6
