Rape Kit

Lu went to court over her rape by doctor Rand Kilner and much to her dismay she lost. The defense attorney traumatized her even more. It was hard for Lu to go into details about what happened and in a way relive the rape or be revictimized. She had a hard enough time talking with the detective and prosecuting attorney. Doctor Jackson wanted to give Lu more time off, however, she refused. Lu told him that staying busy will help her.

-- Lu went to meet with her attorney before going to the trial a few times to talk and prepare for court. Lu gets in touch with Corina from victims assistance for support. Lu asks Corina to go to court with her to support her. --

Lu: "Please tell me that someone got coffee?"

Peter: "Here you go Lu."

Lu: "Thanks Peter your are a life saver I am so tired."

Peter: "Does Marc still have the flu?"

Lu: "Yes and a bad case of it too, he was up all night sick to his stomach."

Lana: "Lu Faithanne is coming into the ER she had a car accident."

(Lu runs to the ER)

Lu: "Faithanne talk to me."

Faithanne: "Lu my knee hurts."

Lu: "I need to do an x-ray of it and give you a thorough exam from head to toe."

Nurse: "X-ray is ready for Faithanne."

(Corina pages Lu and Lu calls her)

Lu: "Corina what's up I'm in the ER treating a patient."

Corina: "Lu it's eleven o'clock."

Lu: "Right court let me get someone to cover me and I'll meet you in front of the victims assistance building."

--Lu and Corina go in for the trial together.--

(Lu goes in and sits with Corina everything is okay until she sees him. Everyone is seated after the judge is present and they get down to business.)

--Meanwhile down at the RWHC Dana deals with an alcoholic who is really drunk and very pregnant.--

Dana: "Renee I'm disappointed that you are still drinking you are five months pregnant."

Renee: "I just want to try and get some sleep."

(Dana goes to check on Faithanne)

Dana: "Faithanne I'm doctor Stowe Lu's partner. How are you feeling?"

Faithanne: "I hurt all over and my knee is killing me."

Dana: "I need to see your x-rays and then I will know what I'm dealing with for now I will get you some Tylenol."

Faithanne: "Alright thanks doctor Stowe."

(Lana pages Dana one of her patients came in with a severe appendicitis and needs emergency surgery.)

Dana: "I have to go."

(Dana goes up to Lana)

Dana: "Lana what's wrong?"

Lana: "Mikyra Ramos has a appendicitis."

Dana: "Mikyra you can come into my office."

(After Dana examines her she confirms that she does infact have a appendicitis and takes her up for surgery right away.)

--The next day--

(Dana knocks and goes into Lu's office closing the door behind her.)

Dana: "Lu what happened yesterday?"

Lu: "They said it was consensual, the charges were dropped, and that bastard got off scott free."

Dana: "Lu I'm sorry."

Lu: "Yeah well his lawyer isn't it was terrible Dana like I was back at that night here in the ER at bay eight talking to the detective."

Dana: "Lu I know how you feel about counselors but you should really consider talking to someone about this."

Lu: "I know I'm talking to a counselor alright."

Dana: "Why don't you take an early afternoon and go see her?"

Lu: "My appointment isn't until Thursday."

Dana: "I called Mariska this morning."

Lu: "Okay but I'm coming back tomorrow."

(Lu goes to check on the babies in the nursery and she ends up spending her afternoon there playing with them.)
