     Unfortunately, that's not the case.  *8-)

I had a not so good experience while in the hospital, I woke up to
find the respiratory therapist's hand in a place he thought I had
no feeling.  That wasn't the only one so I'm a little
apprehensive.  If that was in a hospital full of people, what could
happen while alone in an apartment?

Maybe with other males *in control*, but I tend to disregard that
hypothesis because when I had to catheterize every 4 hrs., it was
one of my male friends.  I remember it would hurt them more than it
bothered me as they had never seen that before.
