In an ideal world, Larissa would be invited to speak at freshman orientation at every college in this country. Not just about "rape" but about perseverance, perspective and resilience.
BTW this Boomer is perfectly happy to get out of the way. I would rather see GenX'ers running for President and Congress this year than anyone older than me
I recently heard that 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘶𝘮𝘢 "overwhelms our coping mechanisms and leaves us different than how we were before". As in it literally changes how our brains function, and that if left "buried" or "unattended", it becomes (metaphorically) like an abscess in our bodies. Celeste's desire to chip away at hers almost immediately, by being honest with her acquaintance, is very impressive (although probably somewhat uncommon).
Great episode! I’m late (as always) but I just wanted to say I LOVED this discussion and this guest. In a news week where I’m being pounded by non-stop Candace Owens coverage, I’m happy I have a place to find truly impressive women having important conversations. Thank the lord for Hell!
My position has always been that women are incredibly fragile, so I empathize with Italian doctors who don’t want to do a rape kit. I refuse to do any sort of gynecological exam as part of my practice. In med school, I asked for extra help in learning that particular skill, using some rather clever misdirection to avoid telling them too much of “my story”. While I have other criticisms of the school, they at least stepped up to the plate and honored that request.
Nonetheless, I still remember when I was working ED night shift during the peak COVID era and there was some room number mixup and I accidentally burst into the room of a patient who was not mine and who was there for a rape exam. Thankfully, she was still clothed, but I still felt quite mortified about it.
I have tried to rate this podcast on the Apple Podcast app many times but the option for rating never appears. I think it may have something to do with the Substack process which pushes the podcast to your preferred podcast app as the rating option also does not appear for other podcasts I setup through substack. Has anyone else found this issue?
This was brilliant. Loved it!
Excellent conversation.
