Abstract

An obviously well-to-do older woman goes for her yearly physical examination. Her physician asked during the routine history, in a nonpejorative fashion, "Has anyone harmed you in the last year? Do you feel safe at home?" Much to the physician's surprise, she sighs, responding, "Nobody has ever asked me that before. I thought I was hiding it better."
