You are told by a young patient, whose complications from childbirth required her to remain hospitalized on the obstetrics ward, that Dr. Redmarck, a medical resident assigned to her case, is acting “inappropriately” toward her.

At first I didn’t think anything about it, but then I started thinking that it didn’t have anything to do with my condition. . . . He pulls the covers way back, and lifts up my gown.
