Abstrakt: |
A prospective study of the Akron General Medical Center rape protocol reviewed the examination and follow-up of 60 alleged sexual assault victims. Six of eight examining physicians thought the protocol was too thorough; five of eight believed it took too long. The average time required for an examination was 53 minutes. Three of six nurses experienced technical difficulties with the protocol. Saliva specimens were inadequate in seven cases, and two vaginal swabs contained insufficient material. Thirteen cases reached Summit County Grand Jury, where no medical/legal difficulties with the protocol were encountered during testimony. |
