Today, my girlfriend fell down the stairs and broke her ankle. She also had a bruise on her leg due to her friend biting her. I spent the night in the hospital to be there for her and support her, but I should have expected that the nurses would treat me like a criminal. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my girlfriend smashed a glass in my face. When I went to the hospital, the first thing the nurse did was ask what I did to upset her, and then muttered that she hoped I'd learned a lesson. FML
Today, I fell down a flight of stairs at college. I was taken to hospital with a fractured ankle and had to call my parents to drive me home. They constantly made passive-aggressive remarks on the way home, because I'd "totally ruined" their plans to eat out at a fancy restaurant tonight. FML
Today, my girlfriend decided to break the news that she wanted us to be "just friends." However, she did it not in just any old way - while ice-skating. I'm currently in hospital getting stitches in my arm after I tripped in shock and she ran me over. FML
Today, I went to the hospital emergency room to visit my boyfriend who had badly sliced his leg open. It ended with me being admitted with a possible head trauma, after hitting my head on the wall and floor as I collapsed at the sight of his wound. FML
Today, my daughter had her gall bladder removed after just having liver surgery, my girlfriend tripped and fell, breaking several toes and possibly her ankle, and I got almost no sleep between my night shifts. FML
Today, I visited the hospital with my boyfriend to have an injury checked. When the doctor removed the band-aid, my boyfriend started screaming and passed out. I had to get him out of the room using a wheelchair. The "injury" is a cut on his finger. FML
Today, I was so happy to be leaving the hospital after breaking my arm the night before. Just as I walked out of the doors, a huge ambulance team was running in at the same time, and knocked me down full force. I now have a broken ankle. FML
Today, after slipping on my stairs and spraining my ankle, I got a brace and crutches at urgent care. When I went to get into my car, my crutch slipped on some paper and I fell. I crawled back into urgent care, only to learn that my sprained ankle is now broken in 2 places. FML
Today, I got bailed out of jail. I was there because I saw a girl being hit by her boyfriend. I rushed over to help only to have her hit me repeatedly. The cops came and she blamed her bruises on me. The boyfriend corroborated her story. FML
Today, I slipped and fell down the stairs, landing hard on my knee. Through my screams of agony, my mom accused me of exaggerating the pain, and said I was just being an attention seeker, before finally taking me to hospital. I was told my leg was broken. She refused to apologize. FML

So long as they didn't actually report you for something you didn't do... You know the truth, as does your girlfriend, so hopefully that will be enough.

I can't blame the nurses. I know, it isn't fair for you, it isn't the truth, you didn't abuse her, it's mean of them to think that, you're a decent boyfriend blablabla, but if the nurses wouldn't react that way, it's like they don't give a **** about domestic violence. And domestic violence is still a serious problem.

Domestic violence is a serious problem. But would the nurses have reacted the same way if the gender roles were reversed? Probably not.

Domestic abuse will always be a problem. The "falling down the stairs" story is a pretty common excuse a girl will give when she's been abused. Many girls put up with abuse because they "love" the guy or "he's really not that bad". It will always be hard to determine who is being abused and who is not. Even professionals do not always catch on.

32 has a good point; domestic violence is one of those areas where the social and legal bias is firmly slanted toward females. Males make up about a third of domestic violence victims in the US, but there are almost no resources for either male victims or female abusers to draw on for help. I see why the nurses would be suspicious, and this particular social injustice certainly isn't their fault, but this is a telling example of the need for awareness and education on the subject.

I think it's just the nature of the situation. I fell down stairs and broke my ankle, too. When I explained that at the hospital, they specifically asked if I was being abused.

How far up her leg did she get bitten? Was it one of those kinky pubic bites (ala Tom Cruise in interview with a vampire)?
perdix 31
Yeah, but I'll bet the slutty nurses found you dangerous and sexy. ;) They always go for the "bad boy."
