"Excessive jury awards have in-
creased the cost of medical malprac-

doctors can't really afford to stay in
the high risk specialties,” he said.
" Lots of obstetricians are leaving the
practice and not delivering babies
which means the best trained people
are being driven out.”

If there are any missing pieces to
this bizarre case, I’d certainly like to
be filled in by someone who knows
the story.
I learned in a psychology class that
sexual experimentation is normal for
young children and nothing to get
alarmed about, but I was always
bullied into being the " patient” and
the older kids were the " doctors and
nurses.”
DEAR ANN LANDERS: As a child
I was never sexually abused by an
adult, but I was taken advantage of
by some older children in the
neighborhood. It seems odd to me
that this sort of abuse is never men-
tioned.
Ann landers" booklet, " Sex and
the Teenager,” explains every
aspect of sexual behavior-where to
draw the line, how to say no, the
varoius methods of contraception,
the dangers of VD, the symptoms
and where to get help. For a copy,

DEAR DALLAS: Some authorities
might consider your experience nor-
mal "fooling around” since it involv-
ed other children. But if you believe
you were abused, then you were. I
hope you will waste no time getting
to a counselor or therapist.
Ask your physician to guide you.
Or look in the phone book under Men-
tal Health. If there is a university
medical school near you, or a
hospital, call and ask if they offer
counseling services. You MUST talk
to someone and free yourself from
that prison of shame.
