    The major aim of the trauma surgeon in controlling pelvic bleeding is stabilization of the unstable pelvic injury. Stabilization of the pelvic injury decreases retroperitoneal volume, and therefore, decreases blood loss as it act as tamponade of the bleeding vessels.

If this is true, and rape is a universally condemned, abhorrent crime, why are the victims of such a crime not treated with the same level of respect as those of other crimes? Rape and sexual assault are some of the most psychologically damaging offenses, with only 37% of women feeling fully recovered from their assault after a period of four to six years (Burgess and Holmstrom, 1979). Lack of support from family members, society, and the justice system following their rape or sexual assault is sure to contribute to this lack of recovery. Even our own laws…
