An ob-gyn in #Virginia performed unnecessary surgeries on patients for decades. When his victims learned the truth, they fought back.

More than a half dozen suits are still working their way through the legal system, including one filed by Layla, who’d let the #FBI record her phone call with Perwaiz. (She declined to be interviewed for this story on advice of her attorney.) But most of Perwaiz’s victims, of which there are likely hundreds, have been left without a clear path to restitution. The FBI designated a victim coordinator to connect former patients with mental health services and to communicate information about the investigation and trial to people requesting it. The bureau told potential victims that, as a first step in addressing any harm done to them, they could request their medical files from Perwaiz’s office.

Warum sollte ich hier mitteilen, dass die #Depression heute recht heftig mit mir durchknallt?

Der einzige Grund ist, dass Du Dich damit nicht ganz alleine fühlst.

Dass die Depression »endogen« sei ist m.E. #victim blaming.

Family Politics and Drama

I was recently telling someone that Hubby and I don’t do or tolerate family politics and drama – relative or not.

We each have various family units – whether we consciously think of them as that or not – our energy certainly does.

A family can be (but isn’t limited to):

  • Nuclear Family
    A couple and their dependent children. For me, I include pet, as they are part of the family unit.

  • Immediate Family
    There are different definitions for Immediate Family and Extended Family. For the purpose of this article, I am defining Immediate Family as including the Nuclear Family, parents and siblings.

  • Extended Family
    Those who are one household beyond the Nuclear Family (and can include Immediate Family) such as aunts, uncles, grandparents.

Other Families

We also have the following families. You may disagree with my interpretation (and that’s fine), but I think if you look at it objectively and energetically, you’ll probably see it.

  • Work/Office Family
  • Each In-Person Social Group
  • Each Interest Group (hobbies, etc.)
  • Each Online Group
  • Online Friends

And then we can have:

  • Neighborhood Family
  • City/Town Family
  • State Family
  • Country Family

But don’t forget the:

  • Actual political association family
  • The Human Being Family
  • The Inhabitants of Earth Family (including all non-human inhabitants)

And these are just a few of the families we are connected to.

Each family has its own politics. By that I mean each family unit probably has a...Read More

Short poem by the victim of abuse. This particular victim tried many times to ask for help. In each time those pleas for help were ignored and the abuse continued.

Where Were You

by anon

Where were you?
Where were you when I was alone and defenceless?
Where were you when I was being abused?
Where were you when I called and asked you to help me when I was being abused?
Where were you?

Why didn't you answer?
Why didn't you help?
Why did you see me as valueless when you let me be hurt by my abuser?
Why didn't you help me?
Why?

Why when I asked for help did you throw me into the fire?
Why when I asked for help did you put me in the firing line of the one who was causing me pain?
Why when I asked for help did you consider me worthless and moved on?
Why?

I thought you were my friend.
I thought you would help me.
I thought I could trust you.
I thought, at last, I was valued.
I found out, in reality, I was worthless.

What's wrong with me...
What did I do wrong...

The Unseen Scars of Those Who #Kill Via Remote Control

source: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/15/us/drones-airstrikes-ptsd.html

Drones were billed as a better way to wage war — a tool that could kill with precision from thousands of miles away, keep American service members safe and often get them home in time for dinner. The drone program started in 2001 as a small, tightly controlled operation hunting high-level terrorist targets. But during the past decade, as the battle against the Islamic State intensified and the #Afghanistan war dragged on, the fleet grew larger, the targets more numerous and more commonplace. Over time, the rules meant to protect civilians broke down, recent investigations by The New York Times have shown, and the number of innocent people killed in America’s air wars grew to be far larger than the #Pentagon would publicly admit.

The Unseen Scars of Those Who Kill Via Remote Control

Capt. Kevin Larson was one of the best drone pilots in the U.S. Air Force. Yet as the job weighed on him and untold others, the military failed to recognize its full impact. He fled into the California wilderness.

U.S. officials said a #Reaper #drone followed a car for hours and then fired based on #evidence it was carrying explosives. But in-depth video #analysis and interviews at the site cast doubt on that account.

The evidence suggests that his travels that day actually involved transporting colleagues to and from work. And an analysis of video feeds showed that what the military may have seen was Mr. #Ahmadi and a colleague loading canisters of water into his trunk to bring home to his family.

While the U.S. military said the drone strike might have killed three civilians, Times reporting shows that it killed 10, including seven children, in a dense residential block.

Published on the 20th #anniversary of 9/11, this is a series of reported essays describing how the attacks that day and the “war on terror” that followed changed the lives of people outside the United States. Nearly 1 million people have died in #Afghanistan, #Iraq, #Pakistan, #Syria and #Yemen as a result of these post-9/11 wars, according to the Costs of #War project at Brown University. The wars have displaced 38 million people from these countries, as well as #Libya, the #Philippines and #Somalia.
