Corruption would “make Lincoln roll over in his grave.”

I remember a period about 25 years ago when male doctors always had a female nurse in the examining room with them while they attended to a female patient. That hasn't been the case for a number of years now in our area.

For those of you who receive the Surratt Courier, the March issue will have a lengthy article about Victorian women who were sent to the madhouse for a number of reasons - not all of them legitimate. That would seem to be an area that was rift with abuse of all sorts. Even a sane woman (and many who were admitted were sane) might not be believed if reporting such physical/sexual abuse.
