I became really depressed
Randy, North Carolina
I was harassed by a nurse who was doing therapy on my neck at my doctor’s office. The nurse started flirting with me, touching me inappropriately in a suggestive way, smiling at me in a way to lead me on. She went through my personal medical records began calling my house and hanging up when I answered the phone.
Other staff members started talking about me and her where I could overhear them. They even set me up to do more than the 10 prescribed treatments. The nurse said I should continue even though it was not helping me. I asked her if I needed to talk to the doctor about this and she said she had already. (The doctor said he knew nothing about it when I asked him later.)
When I complained to my doctor, he would not discuss it with me. I eventually found out he already knew but had done nothing about it or talked to me about it.
Then the nurse gave my name and address to her boyfriend who came to my house and later called my house and cussed me out and threatened me.
This happened while my father was dying, and I had to have neck surgery right after being threatened. I became really depressed, almost despondent.
I filed a complaint with the nursing board and nothing happened. The police refused to do anything about it even though I had kept records of the phone calls.
I was asked to leave the practice by my doctor after 11 years. I am disabled with chronic pain and need medication. I have no doctor, no medicine and no one to listen to me or anyway to do anything about it.
most sexual harassment are done by men and women but you only hear the rules for men only and not women. i got sexually harassed by a women who wanted sex from me and another male worker at the same time. i said no i will not lick you down there she said if you dont, ill file a sexual harassment complaint. thats e xactly what she did and we got yelled at by a female superviser lecturing us on a sexuall hearasment policy when we filed a counter complaint nothing happened to her. not even when tried to rape a man in his slep she was fired. sex harasssment is not for women in the work place in hawaii men only military as well dont even have that rule for women.
omg well get a new doctor place or tell on her
