A tear tattoo is common among gang members and it signifies that she had killed at least one other person in her life. It was somewhat scary to even be with her in the same room, but she was a sick patient and she needed treatment.
Anyway we were suspecting a severe infection in her blood (sepsis), I found on her record that she had several STDs (sexually-transitted diseases) in the past.
I asked her the regular question, "Do you have multiple sexual partners?"
"No, I don't" she said
"how many kids do you have ?"
"Five"
"Do you know who their father is?"
"Yes I know who are the fathers of four of them, still not sure about the fifth one"
"Fathers??"
"Yes, each kid has a father, but I don't know about the fifth one"
"I thought you told me that you didn't have multiple sexual partners"
She got a bit angry and answered, "It depends on what do you mean by multiple!!"

freaking.... naivly i'd prefere to think they exist in movies only!
Unfortunatley they don;t only exist in movies. They are present in several countries and 33 out of 50 US states. They chase and brutally murder anyone who testifies against them. They hang people in front of their houses after torturing them.
They have different ranking systems and the only way to get promoted in the gang is to kill more people.
OMJ!
I don't know why gang activity is not cracked down on more harshly. Scary. Boy, you are getting more than just a medical education there!
I wonder what she thought you meant by multiple...hmmm let me think, maybe more than one at the same time...LOL
Or or, more than one on the same day.
I think those people should be called terrorists and bombed by Bush.
Poor soul!
Can't you provide her or at least recomment her any psychiatrist treatment so that she sould leave thing gang thing?
did she ask you out?
Wallah this is sad and scary at the same time ... I cannot even imagine what these people are capable of and how cruel they become ... they really lose their humanity ...
Be careful my friend :)
Didn't you just break 10 million HIPAA rules right there ;)? Do you have the right to refuse to treat a patient and refer him/her to another colleague?
hey thanx for reading
anon... no i didn;t break any rule, regarding the second question yes i can refuse to unless it's an urgent situation that might result in a permanent disability , but i don;t think i'll deny treatment to any patient regardless , the lady was not offensive despite throwing the F-bombs about fifty times when i was talking to her
In Australia, the teardrop has an entirely different meaning. It is forcibly marked on convicts who are accused child molesters. This mark is then used as a justification for the beatings and abuse of the wearer. The teardrop in this case, represents the tears that the convict will cry, eternally
Manqooool :D
