Essay

The Decade Dance

Jon O. Neher, MD

Valley Family Medicine, Renton, Wash

CORRESPONDING AUTHOR: Jon O. Neher, MD, Valley Family Medicine, 3915 Talbot Road South #401, Renton, WA, 98055, jon_neher{at}valleymed.org

ABSTRACT

This essay portrays the moment an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse tells his physician about his traumatic past. Because of denial by both parties, the diagnosis had remained buried for years, and opportunities for appropriate intervention were repeatedly missed. When the patient is finally able to face his past, it unleashes a torrent of potentially lethal anger that challenges everyone involved.

Key Words: Child abuse, sexual • physician-patient relations • essay
