With the way the world is these days, be glad the medical staff is asking.
What if the lady next to you doesn't have DIMR, and actually is a victum of
abuse? Aren't you glad those people are doing their jobs for her sake?
Really now, aren't you just embarresed over how you got your current boo-boo?

Actually, I relayed the "no, for the 4th time" comment to a social worker I
work with, and I said "at least they were doing their jobs" we both laughed.
She is the head of our abuse team here.

So, please, don't get on us for asking over and over about your boo-boo's,
maybe the lady next to you wasn't so lucky. Abuse is more common than you
think.
