On March 3, 1994 I was attacked at my place of employment. It was approx. 12:30 pm. and I was alone. A black male entered the front door posing as a client with a small cardbooard box in his hand. After a long discussion about his sick kitten and asking me when I expected the Dr. back, he then pulled a gun on me. He proceeded eventually to take me back into the O.R. where he bound my hands with cord and my mouth with duck tape. He then brutally raped me and then slashed my throat several times. I realized that he would continue to slash until he thought I was dead, so I played dead and he left through the back exit of the clinic. As soon as I heard the door close I got up and started working my hands free. I was able to free them and called 911. The place was Missouri City, Texas. I was life flighted to a Houston hospital where I spent the next ten days part of which I was on life support and all of which I was kept in a drug induced coma to protect me from t! he shock of the trauma. This man has not been caught and one of the things that I must live with is the knowledge that he would do this again. I was very lucky and I just can't believe the next woman would be. The case is still open with very few leads. How it changed my life:My family and I have been greatly affected. I live in a different community and still live with fear and suspicion. Although I have many physical scars the emotional scars run much deeper. My children have each been affected in many ways. They also will always bare their emotional scars. My husband who has always been a very trusting individual has become a very angry man.
