I went to PP to get treated for an STD stemming form a sexual assault. I described the assault as follows: "He penetrated me with his finger after masturbating. About one month later, I started noticing small red bumps around my vaginal area."
I just received a copy of my files and the clinician wrote "He fingered me and I got lumps."
They quoted me inaccurately at various points in my record. It seems as though they always want to "dumb down" the medical terminology that I use.
I am considering ammending the file and submitting a short statement indicating that I did not make that statement regarding being "fingered." I don't plan on taking any criminal or civil action, but you never know. If I ever did decide to bring a civil lawsuit, the defense attorney would subpeona my records and use that statement against me because the term "fingered" is most often used to indicate a consentual act.
What do you think? Will PP be annoyed by me?
What should I say in the statement?
