Conditions that Mimic Sex Abuse Findings
December 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Welcome back. Hope your holiday was a good one (and your up-coming week a short one). Over at Medscape they have a piece on conditions that mimic child sexual abuse findings. It’s a reprint of Horner’s article originally published this fall in the Journal of Pediatric Health Care.

This will be the last post of the week, as we prepare for my dad to have surgery tomorrow and of course the holidays after that (like many of you out there, I will be taking call Xmas eve/day). However, in the spirit of the season, I wanted to share a little something that came in the mail yesterday that had me smiling.

Weekly Wrap-Up @ the Sustainability Blog + a Few Odds & Ends

This week, over at the sustainability site, some good stuff for your perusal:
- *The Nonprofit Risk Management Center’s calendar of 2010 webinars is now available
- *One of my favorite short pieces on nonprofits and the economy
Something else I’d like to pass along is this article from the Psychiatric Times sent to me by one of my partners: The Medical Decision Making Capacity of Patients with Dementia. A lot here on consent issues and definitely worth a read.
Don’t forget to check out the Canada page–Sheila has provided a few new resources, including the Canadian Criminal Code with applicable sections for forensic clinicians highlighted.
And finally, on a personal note, this has been a challenging week for my family as we face unexpected illness. Next week, posts may be sporadic as my father has surgery and then begins his long recovery. If you are the praying kind, please add an extra one for us. However, we are a family that also understands that laughter may be as healing as prayer, so in that spirit, I leave you with a link that I hope you will find as funny as I do (with thanks to Judy for finding it first). Clearly I am going to have to adopt some new terminology in my lectures…
Enjoy your weekend.

Renaming the Hymen

Let’s just go ahead and put this in the where in the world did you come across this one? category. The Swedish Association for Sexuality Education (RFSU) has decided it would be a good idea to rename the hymen in order to, um, bust the myths that surround it…(sorry.)
