An Unsilenced Survivor Story
"I am now a 44 year old woman, and to this very day, I am deeply traumatized, ashamed, and experience a sort of "internal recoil" whenever I reflect on the ordeal."
I received a VCUG at Vancouver Children's Hospital circa 1988. I am now a 44 year old woman, and to this very day, I am deeply traumatized, ashamed, and experience a sort of "internal recoil" whenever I reflect on the ordeal. I firmly contend that my sexual development was impacted by this experience in ways that I do not wish to detail here. Needless to say, I find it abhorrent that this procedure is still being carried out without any kind of standardized sedation protocol.
What can we do to make changes in how this procedure is implemented?
