One of those everything-went-according-to-plan deliveries yesterday, a girl to be named Adelaide. Their first child is Link.
I asked the origin of that name. What do you think?
A. One of the leads in Mod Squad
B. As in link to a website
C. protagonist in Legend of Zelda
D. Short for Lincoln.

15. DV
Domestic Violence yesterday
1. R. raped by some one she knows; won't tell his name because she's afraid of reprisal.
2. S. is pregnant; her estranged husband threatens to come to the hospital with a loaded gun to take the baby.
3. J. was kidnapped by her husband, driven around while deciding how to kill her (so he said). She quietly dialed 911. A dutiful dispatcher kept the line open and with GPS technology the police rescued her.
Why this local epidemic of DV? Must be the threatening storm of gay marriage

14. Calling Dr. Ruth
Dr Ruth (still going strong at 81) told us to call it like it is: vagina, penis, cliterus, scrotum and so on. An honesty is the best policy approach. My patients are seldom so forward, though when they talk about "having sex," or being "intimate," the message gets through. But today S. would only allude to, "when my husband and I do adult things." You mean like drinking, or voting maybe?
