Michele Fisher

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. At the age of 16 months old my father passed away leaving me to be raised by a mom that was disabled and not very capable of raising an infant. My grandmother stepped in to help raise me until she passed away when I was 12.

I suffered pretty much most of my life with issues of trust and abandonment due to these early loses, along with the fact that I was also sexually and emotionally abused by an uncle.

I struggled to survive. I learned to survive despite overwhelming obstacles.

As a teen I was a rebel with a cause. As an adult I am still a rebel WITH a cause.

I put too much blood sweat and tears into keeping myself enough on the staight and narrow by putting mself through school, majoring in psychology so i could hopefully help others who had difficulties and obstacles to overcome.

I worked in the health care field until my mom was diagnosed with Alzheimers at which time caring for my mom for the 13 years she and I dealt with this horrible illness became my full time job.

About 5 years ago while seeking treatment for my medical condition(s) one of which was diabetes (which I inherited from my father) I met with what turned out to be the most difficult obstacle I was going to be called upon to overcome. I was used, abused and exploited by my endocrinlogist, emotinally, and sexually!

I have started a facebook page called Support for people that have been abused by their doctors. This is a problem that is more prevalant that peope realize. Much of that is because the victims are too afraid to speak about it. The fear they will be blamed, they are ashamed and feel guilty. It is the predator that is to blame. It is the predator that should feel guilty and ashamed. They usually don't, because those are qualities sociopaths and pschopaths lack. Just look at Coach Sandusky, until today he denies any wrong doing and continues to blame the victims. At least justice was served in his case, I wasn't as fortunate to see justice served.

The only way I feel I will ever get justice is to be vocal about it and encourage others to do the same.

Legislation needs to be changed because the law is on the side of the abusor rather then the victim and when you file a complaint it becomes an extremely painful and lenghtly process that leaves you wishing you never tried to right the wrong. It is like the rape victim being told she asked for it.
