- SpecialtyWhat is Sexual Assault? “Any nonconsensual sexual act proscribed by Federal, tribal, or State law, including when the victim lacks capacity to consent.” - US Department of Justice All of the following are examples of sexual assault: You have been forced into any sexual act. There would be retaliation, or consequence, if you did not comply with a sexual act. Someone started or continued to touch you after you denied consent. A sexual act occurred when you were not able to consent. Sexual assault is not something that happens accidently, or from a misunderstanding. Consent is clear, affirmative communication between two or more capable adults, no matter their relationship- from strangers to spouses. You are not at fault for a sexual assault. It does not matter what you were wearing, drinking, or doing prior to someone committing a violent crime against you.

We want to get you up and around and back to living a full life as soon as possible. Many of our patients go home a few days after surgery., What to Expect From Neurosurgery Knowing you need brain or spinal surgery can feel overwhelming. But today's surgical procedures are minimally invasive and don't require as much recovery time as they used to. Your specific treatment will depend on your condition, age, and overall health. Here are some things to keep in mind about brain or spinal surgery: You may or may not need neurosurgery for a spinal problem. You can see an orthopedic spine surgeon for some spinal conditions. However, if the problem is intradural — involving the spinal cord itself — you should see a neurosurgeon. You probably won't need to shave your head. The prep team may shave a tiny strip of hair to make an incision. They will make the incision behind your hairline to keep it covered. We get you up and around as soon as possible. The day after surgery, you'll begin working with a physical therapist. Many people can go home as soon as three or four days after surgery. (Of course, your recovery time depends on your condition. Traumatic brain injury may have a longer recovery time.) SRS treatments are done on an outpatient basis. If you're having SRS, you can go home the same day.
