In many of my posts, I've said that I believe my case should be in the criminal court system; not the civil system. I wanted to pursue criminal charges from the very beginning... Yet, every lawyer I spoke with told me that cases like mine can only be pursued in the civil system. In fact, a few lawyers told me that the police and DA would laugh at the mere suggestion that my case should be considered criminal. As angry as this made me, I accepted that this is the way things are. At first...
This continued to 'eat away' at me though and I mean really eat away at me... I just could not accept that a hospital and doctor could knock someone out against their will and steal six healthy organs without that person's consent and that their actions would be considered 'civil'.
Finally, just last week, I made an appointment to speak to a Police Corporate Lt.in the division which presides over Mercy Hospital Anderson and Dr. Bradley Busacco's Seven Hill's Women's Health office. I could no longer accept the word of any lawyer. I had to hear it from the police myself.
My boyfriend and I met with this Police Corporate Lt. and told him the facts of my case and asked him if my they would investigate my case and consider filing criminal charges against Dr. Busacco and Mercy Hospital Anderson. He listened to my story and then proceeded to tell me that my case was a civil case. I asked him to explain to me what was 'civil' about it.
He explained that if my house had been broken into and possessions stolen; the police could and would investigate and file charges if appropriate. He went on to say that the police could and would investigate and consider filing charges if my ex-doctor had 'fondled' me in some way. However, since I was knocked out and organs removed in a hospital; this was considered to be a civil matter. I suppose if what happened to me happened on the street and by an man not wearing a white coat; it would be a 'criminal' case.
I really don't have words to express how I felt as I walked away from the police station that evening. I felt physically sick for sure. I felt as if I might pass out. I felt like I wanted to die. I felt a million things and all at once. I felt sickened by the fact that I live in a society and country that prides itself on 'justice' and being the land of the free and the home of the brave and all of that. The officer suggested that I go to the media for help with my case. Of course, I have done that.
I will never accept what has been done to me. I will never accept that I have been hysterectomized and castrated against my will and without my consent and that this is considered by the society I live in to be a 'civil' matter. I followed every safeguard in reference to deciding to have surgery.
1) I got a second opinion. 2) I took a witness with me to my pre-surgery meeting with my ex-doctor two days before the surgery took place 3) I read the consent form given to me at the hospital and realized that the consent allowed for removal of four more organs than what I'd agreed to; not just my uterus which Dr. Busacco and I had discussed and agreed to only two days prior. 3) I refused to sign the consent form and told the nurse I did not want surgery and wanted to speak to Dr. Busacco. What more could I have done to protect myself. I was knocked out against my will (with three family members present as witnesses) and given a total hysterectomy without my consent.
When I was told I had had surgery and that all of my healthy female organs had been removed; I cried out that I wanted to die. To be honest, there are many days I wish that I had died on the operating table that day. The truth of what was done to me in a 'safe' place is much too devastating to think about. I can't begin to comprehend how Dr. Busacco and Mercy Hospital thought they could get away with something so wrong; something illegal.
Now I know. What they did to me is not considered illegal. Theft of organs is not the same as theft of 'material things'. As a society, we obviously place more value on 'things' and we do not value 'human life'. Justice is not blind. We have a very broken justice system in the United States. Money buys justice; not the truth. The truth is that it is the hospitals, doctors and drug companies who put our politicians in office. Therefore, the laws protect them, not innocent and unsuspecting patients.
No matter what any lawyer says, no matter what any police officer says, no matter what any DA says; what happened to me should never have happened and it is 'CRIMINAL'. Dr. Busacco and Mercy Hospital committed the "Ultimate Rape".
As I said via my testimony in Indiana in January with regard to House Bill 1366 (Hysterectomy Informed Consent) “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing". This is indeed a very sad commentary on the state of things in the U.S. And, we look down our noses at other countries and their laws. We especially talk about Mexico and how they 'steal' organs for profit. Shame on America. Shame on America when you do the same thing. You just do it under the guise of medicine.
I have a final note about the 'civil system'... It's little more than a joke for many reasons but mainly because of the 'cap' on what juries are legally permitted to award to victims of medical malpractice. Tort Reform has effectively put an end to filing medical malpractice complaints against doctors and hospitals. Tort Reform was put in place to protect doctors and hospitals. There is no accountability - NONE! This creates a very dangerous medical environment for everyone. We need to reform Tort Reform! As it stands now, there's no way to pursue legal remedy.
Of course, there's always the avenue of filing a complaint with the medical board. Forget it! The medical board protects their own. I've been down that road... Filing a complaint with them is a waste of time and ink. Sadly, there appears to be no recourse for harmed patients; especially 'intentionally' harmed patients like me.

The True Price of Hysterectomy
The true price of hysterectomy and castration on a woman’s life is incalculable. There is no way the price, pain and grief brought on by these surgeries can be measured. Our ultimate example of suffering is Christ of course. He gave his life so we could have life. Our only other example of ‘horrific’ suffering is seen in the book of Job in the Bible. I think most people think of Job when they think of suffering; especially suffering that is beyond measure.
Job was ‘hit’ in all three major areas in his life: family, finance and physical health. He was hit in his mind, body and spirit. If a person is hit hard in even one of these areas, it’s difficult to keep it together. It’s extremely hard if not impossible to heal and get beyond grief and suffering when there is not one part of a person left ‘intact’. When hit in all areas and at once, it is not possible to keep it together; at least not without divine intervention and help.
When a woman is hysterectomized and castrated, she suffers losses in all areas of her person instantly and the grief she consequently suffers is in ways that are beyond measure. The worst part is that she usually does not even realize what is happening. When we know what is happening to us, we know we have a problem and can seek out help. Most women who have had these horrific surgeries are told there are few (if any) negative consequences from the surgery.
Too often, women are made to feel that there is something wrong with them if they ‘suffer’ or ‘struggle’ after these surgeries. Christ said that we can’t heal a wound by saying it is not there. In order to make it through trauma and suffering, we must first realize and ‘face’ the fact that we have a problem. Only then, can we begin to find a solution and/or ‘healing’.
Every woman who has been hysterectomized has a problem; a huge problem. However, it's very common for that woman and those around her to not recognize that there is a serious problem because they have been told by a ‘doctor’ that all is well. Sadly, many women suffer the unbearable grief of hysterectomy alone. There is a spiritual impact of hysterectomy in addition to the physical and mental consequences. Grief is a natural emotion we feel when we experience a loss and make no mistake; having your womb removed is a loss without measure. It is a loss that God did not intend for any woman. Yet, a woman must grieve in order to heal if she has been violated by hysterectomy. Grief is a natural God-given process we must go through.
Those who don’t understand or realize what’s happening to the woman who has been hysterectomized will not know there is a real problem that requires a real solution. Unfortunately for millions of women living without their organs, there really is no solution via a pill or patch, etc. to help them heal in the physical realm. The only hope for true healing is through the spirit realm; through God. Hysterectomy is not reversible and the damage done to a woman is permanent. There is no way to restore that woman to her ‘former self’ or ‘former health’ in the medical realm. The only real ‘healing’ can and must come from God; the one who made woman to begin with.
Isaiah 53:4 says that Christ bore our griefs and carried our sorrows. The pain and suffering brought on by hysterectomy simply can’t be carried by a woman. It is too much to bear for any woman. I know this because I have suffered a lifetime of traumatic events and circumstances and I have always found a way to ‘fix’ my situation. I could 'fix' any problem or trauma. If you've read my blog, then you understand what I’m talking about here. Hysterectomy was the one trauma in forty-something years I can't seem to ‘fix’. It was not until I saw the spiritual aspect and/or damage from hysterectomy that I realized where to turn for ‘healing’.
God and God alone understands what hysterectomy does to a woman. God can bring ‘healing’ to a woman who has been hysterectomized. That woman won’t ever be the ‘same’ as before the surgery. But, God can restore that woman spiritually and that is critical. Psalms 18:2 says “The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.” Psalms 18:6 says “In my distress, I called upon the Lord, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.” Even into his ears….
Verse 17 of the same chapter goes on to say that God delivers us from our enemy. Believe me when I tell you that any doctor who takes your womb without medical necessity (which is usually the case) is your enemy. Make no mistake about that. 1 Corinthians 3:16 says “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” The very next scripture (verse 17) says “If any man (like your gynecologist who took your organs for example) defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”
I have a ‘healthy’ fear of God and have had my entire life. I would never want to incur God’s wrath. The Bible is very clear on the issue of how he sees us. He sees us as his temple; ‘the temple of God’. He sees us as holy before him. The Bible is equally clear regarding the issue of what will happen to any man who defiles God’s temple. The scripture says plainly “him shall God destroy.” Any doctor, nurse, or medical person or has taken part in destroying God’s temple via hysterectomy will pay for it in ways they can’t begin to comprehend or imagine. "God is not a man that he should lie nor a son of man that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?" (Numbers 23:19) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of a LIVING God!
Satan has reeked his greatest destruction on mankind via hysterectomy. Yet, this is not the worst part. The worst part is that he has managed to destroy God’s temple and reek this destruction without God’s temple knowing and realizing it. I have asked God to show me why I had to lose my healthy organs when I did not need surgery or agree to it. Remember that I refused to sign the surgical consent. Yet, I was knocked out against my will and my organs taken regardless.
In my mind, I believed I had suffered enough loss in so many ways my whole life… I had learned to live without my own children. I just couldn't understand why something so horrific and truly damaging beyond measure had to happen to me. I held it together for forty something years and took very good care of myself only to have a doctor ultimately ‘ruin’ me in every sense of the word.
My former doctor, Bradley Busacco, had a smirk on his face the day my attorney took his deposition that I will never forget. I will also never forget his answer when my attorney asked him how he came to take my organs when I had not given consent. He lied. He said that we had a prior agreement that my mother would decide and consent for me on the day of my surgery. That was a complete and utter lie and makes no sense of course. No such conversation ever took place. I am reminded here of who is the father of all lies according to scripture.
I was raped at age eleven. My youngest children were taken by their father via a very public custody battle in Texas in 1998 and my children remain in Texas to this day. I was in a bank robbery with a man who had a gun and bomb when I worked in D.C. I'm no stranger to trauma...
These are but a few of the traumas I have suffered over my lifetime. I have dealt with real terror and trauma in my life but not any of that begins to compare to the terror and trauma brought on by the taking of my womb and other female organs. I have forgiven those who have terrorized me and traumatized me in the past but I could not find a way to forgive Dr. Busacco for what he did to me.
I filed a lawsuit against him which is still pending but, even if the case were to go to trial and I were to ‘win’, I have still lost everything. Something precious and without measure was taken from me; something I can never get back. No amount of money could ever make up for what I’ve lost. Remember that God allowed Satan to take Job’s health last. Not even Job lost everything at once as does a hysterectomized woman.
So, I asked God about that. What can a woman who has lost ‘herself’ via hysterectomy do? I have never dealt with anything even remotely as traumatic as hysterectomy and to think it was done against my will and without my consent and for no reason was more than I could bear. What does a woman do when she's so profoundly harmed on purpose by someone she trusted to 'first do no harm'? I just could not get a grasp on how to accept what has been done to me and I’m somebody who has accepted a lot of injustice in my life and moved on.
God gave me an answer and it is the answer I am sharing with you here God will take it up with my former doctor and your doctor in ways we could never imagine. My body (my temple), your body (your temple) has been defiled and by doctors who were trusted to 'FIRST do no harm' to us. Doctors are respected in their communities and by their peers. Even when doctors purposely harm, they are respected. On the other hand, women are made to feel like ‘freaks’ and like they don’t matter. The devastation is just too drastic to cope with.
God and God alone has to take care of such a drastic situation. There is nothing we can do to ‘right’ this horrific wrong and injustice. I know I have a limited amount of energy; especially since my surgery. I make a choice every day I wake up to spend what energy I have left finding ways to help woman learn the ‘truth’ about hysterectomy; the truth their doctors won't tell them. Never in a million years did I think that the ‘truth’ I would be helping women to see would involve their spiritual ‘self’ though. That is the only area where there can be 'true restoration'. That seems to be where God is personally leading me to focus my efforts.
I will continue to do all I know to do to help woman who've been violated and defiled by hysterectomy to learn how to heal spiritually and I will continue to speak out against hysterectomy as long as I live. I know this is my calling.
It is my deepest hope and prayer that my destruction and loss will bring about healing in other women who suffer through the permanent and life-long consequences of hysterectomy and it is also my deepest hope and prayer that millions of women will be saved from this destructive and devastating surgery. If I can help save other women from my same fate, then I can accept what has been done to me and trust God to make things right in ways that only he can.
For the rest of my life, I will continue to work toward educating women (and men) about hysterectomy, the consequences of hysterectomy and the alternatives to hysterectomy. I will continue to work toward passing legislation that will ensure doctors tell women the 'truth' about hysterectomy so there can be real informed consent. I will continue to expose the hysterectomy HOAX.

Thoughts Provoked by Watching "The View" This Week
While watching "The View" this week, there was discussion among the women and their guest in regard to what should be done to sexual predators; men who rape and kill children and women. The conclusion was that they should be "castrated" for their crimes and thereby kill the desire to continue with sexually oriented crimes. In other words, they should be de-sexed as it were.
This hit me like a ton of bricks. When the women on "The View" said that these 'criminals' should be castrated, I thought about how I had been castrated. I committed no crime against anyone and yet I was knocked out against my will and without my consent, strapped down to table and all six of my healthy female organs removed. I was hysterectomized and castrated all at once. It takes my breath away when I think about this and the life-long implications for me and those who love me.
I felt the room spin and thought I would crumble to the floor just thinking about the fact that I'm walking around 'castrated'; castrated like a criminal - a 'sex' offender.
I began thinking about how unjust it is that I had to seek out an attorney to take legal action for me in the civil court system. My case does not belong in any 'civil' system. It belongs in the criminal justice system. Nothing my doctor did to me was civil. It was criminal in every sense of the word; criminal from beginning to end.
The only reason my ex-doctor is not in jail for 'stealing' my organs is because he is a doctor. Somehow, society gives him a pass for that reason. This is wrong. Very wrong. Tedd Bundy was on his way to being a brilliant lawyer. In fact, he was voted president of his law class at one point. Yet, he was one of the most evil serial killers of our time. Just because a person is intelligent, articulate, from wealth and/or in a respectable profession does not give them a 'pass' to commit crime.
My ex-doctor knew he was committing a crime when he stole my organs. I did not consent for my organs to be removed. In fact, I refused to sign the consent form because Mercy Hospital had me down for the wrong surgery. We must, as a society, begin holding doctors (and hospitals) accountable for such heinous actions and deeds.
I want to see legislation passed that would require any doctor who recommends hysterectomy to have to tell women the 'truth' about hysterectomy and the life-long consequences. However, I would also like to see doctors who commit assault and battery criminally prosecuted by the state and at the state's expense. The victim should not have to pay this expense.
I am disabled and unable to work now due to a surgery performed on me that I did not need and did not consent to. Yet, the 'civil' system is my only recourse it seems... My case clearly belongs in the criminal system. I no longer have the means to take care of myself, pay for hormone replacement therapy, etc. Yet, my ex-doctor continues on in his lavish lifestyle as if he's done nothing wrong. I honestly don't know how the man looks himself in the mirror each day.
It is my goal and hope to stay healthy enough to at least continue to share my story with others and continue warning women about the devastating consequences of this irreversible surgery called hysterectomy. I hope to see legislation passed in the near future and I would also like to see doctors who perform surgery without the patients consent held criminally liable.

Spiritual Aspect of Hysterectomy
I've been thinking a lot about the spiritual implications of hysterectomy/castration over the past few weeks. For some reason, it was not until recently that I began to see that there are indeed spiritual implications. It seems that the church almost embraces hysterectomy as some rite of passage for women, but anybody would be hard pressed to locate anything indicating that this is the case in the Bible. The Bible never makes mention of amputating a women's organs once she is through or thinks she is through having children. In fact, the Bible never makes mention of removing the female organs for any reason.
The female organs have many purposes; one of which is child-bearing. Producing children is important no doubt but women need their organs throughout their lifetime for health reasons such as heart protection, bone protection, brain function, protection against loss of vision, loss of memory, the ability to sleep and remain sexual, etc. etc.
God's whole purpose in creating mankind was for man and woman to become one flesh and to produce. I find it rather odd that the church vehemently strikes out against abortion and yet sees nothing wrong with hysterectomy since hysterectomy ends forever the possibility to produce and in many cases the possiblity to become one flesh again.
In my opinion and this is just my opinion; abortion is not nearly as destructive to God's creation as is hysterectomy. After abortion, a woman can still produce a baby. The woman who has had an abortion remains a woman 'intact'. Not so with hysterectomy. After hysterectomy, a woman can no longer produce children as God intended or function as a woman as God intended. I'm not saying that I necessarily agree with abortion, but I am completely and utterly against hysterectomy except in the few cases where it may be medically necessary.
Doctors are literally playing God by deciding which woman should be allowed to have children and how many and which women should not have children at all. God is the giver and taker of life. He and He alone decides these things. If my memory serves me correctly, Sarah had a baby at 90 yrs of age. Most doctors today would have laughed her out of their office at the sheer mention of having a baby at her age. Yet, God had a plan for Sarah. God may have lots of plans for producing his seed; yet Satan is putting a stop to it via hysterectomy.
Therein lies the true issue. God and only God knows the 'end' of our story or life. We don't and certainly doctors don't. (Remember Job went on to have another ten children after his first ten died and these children were godly in character; unlike the first set of children). I see hysterectomy and castration as one of Satan's biggest plots against God and mankind since the very beginning of time. I have met women who had hysterectomies before they even had a chance to marry and have children. Satan moved in via some greedy doctor and stopped God's potential seed from coming forth from that person for all time. It is my personal opinion that these doctors will answer to Almighty God for what they have done. They will pay a heavy price.
Hysterectomy is a transgression against women; a violation against them. It is the 'Ultimate Rape'. This surgery opens the 'door' for so many bad things to enter into a women's life, heart, soul and mind. Hysterectomy is a spiritual battle that I believe God himself has taken up with the devil. Many marriages have been torn apart by the devastating sexual consequences among other things like the endless numbers of physical and mental health issues that result from hysterectomy. Children are affected by the surgery and society as a whole is paying a high price for the money-making machine called hysterectomy.
Hopefully, this is something we will see end in our lifetimes. The next generation of women, children, men and society as a whole deserve better. The only way for evil to continue (and make no mistake that hysterectomy is evil) is for good men to do nothing.
