I'm actually in shock that anyone would place blame on the victim. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion/page/2#post-1077942 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 21:13:57 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1077942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: His dad owns a clinic. He came up with a fairly plausible story and she took the "medication". Sounds like he will be doing some time. I find it incredibly sad that some people are blaming the victim here. Sounds like unfortunately, professional and personal lines were blurred here with the guy's family's role in it. Are they held to account for prescribing something like this for a woman against her will?</p> <p>This is one messed up story! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion/page/2#post-1077928 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 21:05:05 +0000 Ree723 1077928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: This is an awful story but I'm with you. I would never take something based on third party recommendation, ESPECIALLY whilst pregnant! I would be checking everything I could, including reading the prescription info sheet, to make sure it was safe for pregnancy. I also look at a pill every time I take one to make sure it is the correct pill. There are always some kind of markings on a pill to indicate what it might be.</p> <p>I don't mean to say this is the woman's fault, what her boyfriend did was terrible, but I think she was a bit irresponsible by not doing her own research (ie calling the doctor, reading the prescription box, asking more questions etc) before just popping any old pill. Didn't she even want to know what kind of an infection she had and/or how long it was going to take to clear up etc? I just think people need to exhibit some level of personal responsibility when it comes to their health. But I do feel for her, this is truly awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1077900 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 20:49:07 +0000 Purpledaisy 1077900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's so awful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1077268 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 16:02:36 +0000 Mrsbells 1077268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah now that I think of it, DH used to pick up my prescription prenatals all the time and I never had to fill out anything and we dont have the same last name. I think they just ask for the address and date of birth to confirm </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1077263 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 16:00:26 +0000 spaniellove 1077263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: @pui: I never signed anything and my husband has a different last name from me (and is a different race from me) but the pharmacy has never had an issue giving him my prescriptions. I've had to ask him to do it sometimes when I ran out at the last minute and he was on his way home or when I had a really bad migraine and just couldn't go out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1077243 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 15:55:38 +0000 irene 1077243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm. so much for that guy's career as a future doctor.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1077141 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 15:24:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1077141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: @pui: I recently filled my brother's narcotics (percocet) prescription when he had knee surgery. We have different last names now that I am married. The pharmacist simply checked my ID. We live in FL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1077130 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 15:21:50 +0000 pui 1077130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Well it has to be photo ID and full name needs to match. It's probably just different in different areas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1077125 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 15:20:18 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1077125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: perhaps using ID to match last names? Like I said, I never buy prescriptions so I'm not entirely sure. However many spouses at my clinic pick up for each other. Most of the time there are signed ROI's in their chart. Many people do list their bf/gf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1077118 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 15:18:12 +0000 pui 1077118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Well anyone could claim to be my husband or me to get medication not prescribed to them. I can see why they make you come in person with ID to prevent stuff like that. Just a few weeks ago our Pharmacy was closed due to a police investigation because someone tried to do just that (pretended to be someone else to get their drugs).</p> <p>I agree though, he could have changed the label/bought both and switched them up. I thought of that too in one of my earlier comments. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1077041 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:59:40 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1077041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I'm not sure, I never get prescriptions but I don't see why it would be a problem. In addition I think it would be easy to bring home the right prescription, as well as have his and he could have easily pretended to take one from her pill bottle, but use his instead.</p> <p>She was sick, she could have been in bed and he brought her the antibiotic with water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076997 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:42:04 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1076997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: my husband picks up my prescriptions for me all the time.</p> <p>I still look at all the bottles and read the inserts, every single time. I'm overly cautious, though. My pharmacy once accidentally filled a prescription incorrectly (they gave me Claritin ready tabs, which are not pregnancy safe, instead of regular Claritin). </p> <p>So even though I trust my husband, I still read labels and would absolutely never take anything without inspecting it first.<br /> My pharmacy even includes a small message on each bottle that says "this pill is xx shape and has xx marking on one side" etc on it to help identify the pill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076959 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:31:32 +0000 pui 1076959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: He can actually pick up the pills for you? Here I have to be present and have ID to get over the counter medication that is prescribed to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076917 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:21:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1076917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I 100% agreed. This is not her fault in any capacity. If DH picked up my pills from a pharmacy, came home, got out two pills and handed me water I would think nothing of it. In fact he always does this for me! I don't think she was "blind" to trust the man she loved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076915 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:21:12 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1076915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pui: I would hope not. The article didn't say the dad was in on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076904 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:19:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1076904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: @DiamondEyes: @blackbird: I'm assuming he brought the actual pill with water to her. I find it very plausible. I always forgot to take my prenatals, so every day DH would get them for me and serve them with my breakfast. I wouldn't have thought twice if he had subbed in a different pill. </p> <p>But good point about where did he get the cytotec... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076887 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:12:48 +0000 pui 1076887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Wait, does this mean the father was in on it? Or did the boyfriend just use him? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076884 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:12:22 +0000 spaniellove 1076884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's fair to criticize a victim based on the reasoning that we might have used with our experience and knowledge. I'm not her, but I think it's possible that a woman could trust her partner to help handle her medical care. He most definitely took advantage of her naivete and lack of experience with the system. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076882 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 14:11:49 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1076882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: she went to the bf's father's clinic. I wouldn't be skeptical if DH gave me pills. If his dad was my physician I don't think I would question some instructions passed along by him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076733 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:34:09 +0000 pui 1076733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Well, sounds like she was very naive and possibly not too bright either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076718 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:30:08 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1076718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doctors office (my PCP, my OB and my RE, hell, even my dentist!!) has a policy where they can only speak to the patient UNLESS the patient signs a form saying that they can speak to XX person.</p> <p>Hell, my OB's office had my sign a paper saying it was okay for me to leave a voice mail on my cell phone. </p> <p>I seriously find it super hard to believe that this girl thought a doctor called her *boyfriend*, he went and picked up *her* prescription, and *he* told her how to take the medication. </p> <p>What happened to her is no doubt horrifying and terrible, but seriously? There's a million red flags going off here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076713 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:28:12 +0000 runsyellowlites 1076713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: That's very true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076711 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:27:01 +0000 Mrsbells 1076711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@DiamondEyes: I dont think she knew that it was supposed to be a prescription drug. I think we all trust our SO's and if I got home and DH said "oh the doctor called and said you need take this pill so I picked it up for you from the pharmacy" I definitely wouldnt think to doubt him </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076698 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:23:49 +0000 pui 1076698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: That's a really good point I admit I didn't think of. Unless he changed/removed the label I guess. And regarding the diagnosis, maybe he said he got the phone call while she was out?</p> <p>I mean DH doesn't manage my medical stuff for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076692 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:22:18 +0000 runsyellowlites 1076692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: I thought the same thing... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076690 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:22:07 +0000 Boheme 1076690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: @DiamondEyes: That was my first thought! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076687 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:21:21 +0000 banana 1076687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What the eff??? This is insane. I try my best to not judge others but people like this make it really difficult sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076679 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:19:29 +0000 blackbird 1076679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. jump rope, ME TOO. </p> <p>That's a prescription medication. Her boyfriend cannot just go get it for her willy nilly. And why wouldn't the dr not talk to HER about it? There are laws about that. Sorry but that's foolish. </p> <p>And the guy is an asshole, but that goes without saying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/man-tricks-girlfriend-into-abortion#post-1076600 Tue, 10 Sep 2013 13:01:54 +0000 HellOnHeels 1076600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Great minds... </p>
