A pathologist examines two dead young women and passes sections of organs to pathology for examination. The pathologist examines the specimens and questions the accuracy of the collection of tissue. When the collection has been confirmed the answer is devastating. The impact of this finding stretches far beyond the lives and families of the two women.
The end of this first chapter has a table of contents.
Stan got up, they shook hands and he departed after an apology from George.
Stan was eating dinner when he realized George’s theory was wrong. In case of violent deaths of females it was essential to determine if a sexual assault or rape had occurred because this could impact what charges were filed and it might help the police in locating the assailant. The two young women were virgins. It might have escaped him had his youngest daughter and the only one at home had not mentioned during dinner that one of her friends had apparently lost her virginity. “She’s knocked up, I mean pregnant.” Lucy reported. “She says she only did it twice and only with one guy. He must be a real stud. Two times and she’s pregnant.”
“It only takes once,” Beth told her.
“I know but one of the other girls claims she’s done it at least twenty times, and with a couple of guys and nothing happened to her.”
“Is she on the pill or doing something?”
“She claims not. Says if you stand up right away it runs out and nothing happens.”
“Don’t bet on it. Do you know what you call a girl who believes that?”
“No?”
“Pregnant.” Stan left the table to call George leaving the girls to discuss human sexuality and fertility. After explaining the situation Stan asked George why he was so sure the two young women had not gotten serious infections from sexual contact. George replied that he had seen the condition but only in women who had been sexually active and ones who had a history of some serious PID. Stan asked him for an OB/GYN who had a case like that, thanked him and hung up.
The next morning Stan called Dr. Joan Butler’s office and asked if the doctor could call him some time during the day. The call came in about a half hour later.
“Hi, Stan.” Dr. Butler began. “Want to get out of down there and work on the living?”
“Actually, the reverse. I want you to look at one of my cases, tell me what I’ve got here. George tells me you had a couple of patients with the same problem.”
“I’ll be in the hospital in about a half hour to see patients. Should be done by ten. Could I drop down then?”
“Sure, that’ll be fine. My patients don’t mind waiting.”
Joan laughed, “Mine don’t either when they are here for an exam.”
Stan had both bodies moved to the autopsy room just before ten. When Dr. Butler arrived he handed her the two charts. “Both have damage indicating real serious infections, and they are virgins. George theorized they had picked up some bug from having sex but that doesn’t wash.”
Dr. Butler examined both women and the slides. “I’m in agreement with George. If it weren’t for the physical evidence of virginity, I’d have bet on it too. I don’t have an explanation.”
A check was made of both women’s medical records. There was no indication of any pelvic infections or unexplained bellyaches. After some conversations with other OB/GYN’s the two reports were filed with the notes but with no explanation.
