A lady’s arm injury seemed
straightforward until she explained that her husband had twisted it during an
altercation the previous night.
“It was a case of domestic
violence,” she said in exactly those words.
That was disturbing news. California law requires
that a doctor who suspects a patient is a victim of domestic violence must
inform the police. When I told her, she merely shrugged. The husband looked
depressed.
I returned to my car, took out
my Iphone, and asked Siri to find the nearest police station. She
complied. Although the nearest, it wasn’t the correct police station for that
area. I was directed to another where an officer told me a car would be sent.
