SANE

Saw an amazing presentation by our ER nurses about being a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE). What a truly amazing group of ladies! I'm hard core into issues that effect women's health. This is such an overlooked and under reported issue! Current stats say that 1 in 4 college females will be sexually assaulted! Living in a college town, thats a big shocking number, its approximately 5k a year just in my back yard! And it doesn't just effect females, its also a male issue, but more prevalent in females. If that many people had cardiac problems or birth defects the medical community would be raging, and working on a cure. I hate to admit that I'm a part of that community that is painfully unaware of how this plagues our society. Lots to think about....
