Vignette—Alice
Alice is a 32-year-old African-American woman who is
employed as a family physician in a large family
practice in a medium-sized city in New Jersey. She was raised
Protestant and still attends church on
Sundays with one of her sisters. Mike is a 27-year-old African-
American man who is employed as a
pharmaceutical representative. Alice and Mike met at a medical
conference where Mike’s employer was a

4. major sponsor. They sat next to each other at a dinner and
started dating soon after that. Alice does not
have children and Mike has two children from a previous
relationship.
“Mike and I had been dating for about four months. He was the
greatest thing that had come into my life. I
hadn’t been with a man for so many years, I had forgotten what
it was like, how much fun it was to be in
love, how happy it was to have someone make you smile, and
someone you could smile with. I guess I was
so busy being in love that I didn’t see some of the little
incidents that were happening. I guess maybe if I
would have opened my eyes, what happened the other night
wouldn’t have happened. I just don’t now. I
just don’t understand it all.
Mike had come over at about four in the afternoon, and we were
going out to dinner and then to a game. I
was excited. I had never been to a basketball game. Mike was
going to explain everything that happened
for me, so that I would understand what was going on. We were
supposed to go with a couple of his friends.
I had a patient, and I didn’t get home until close to 4:30. Mike
was pacing up and down the floor when I
walked in. I apologized for being late and told him that I was

5. sorry but I could not leave this patient. We had
had little incidents before, but this was the first time I really
began to be fearful. Mike’s face started to get
red, and I looked in his eyes and I became frightened. His eyes
just looked like they belonged to someone
else. His whole body began to change. It became more rigid,
and he started to yell at me. At first, his
abusiveness was really only putting me down for only caring
about my patients and not caring about him.
When I protested and tried to calm him down, he only seemed to
get angrier. Before I knew it, he was
shaking me and slapping me, as well as screaming at me. I
screamed back at him to stop, but he wouldn’t
listen. In fact, he reminded me of patients I have had who have
gone into psychomotor seizures. At that
point, I started pushing away from him and attempted to flee,
but he caught me and started swinging me
around in the kitchen. All of a sudden, he took me and flung me
across the room, and I felt myself crashing
into the stove. That was the last thing I knew. I feel on the
floor, and I could feel somebody stomping and
kicking me as I lay there. I sort of felt like I was drifting in and
out of consciousness.
“I don’t know how long I lay there on the floor, but when I

6. woke up, Mike was gone. The house was dark.
The pain was so bad I could barely move. I knew that I had to
have been seriously injured. From the pain, I
thought maybe I had some internal bruises. Thank God there’s a
phone in the kitchen. I crawled and barely
made it to the phone. I pulled on the cord so that I could knock
it down to the floor, because I could not
stand. I called my partner and just told him that I was
physically injured. I didn’t tell him what happened to
me but just told him to send an ambulance. The next thing I
knew, I was there in this hospital bed. I don’t
know what happened. I don’t know how I got here. All I know
is what they had told me the next morning.
“Apparently, when Mike pushed me into the stove and maybe
when he was stomping on me with his feet,
my kidneys were damaged. As soon as they got me to the
hospital, they could barely find my pulse, and
they knew there was internal bleeding. They rushed me into the
emergency surgery and had to remove one
kidney. My second kidney was badly damaged, but they think
they can save it. I don’t know what happened.
I don’t know how it got so bad. It just seems like it’s all one
great big nightmare. I just don’t know what I’ll

do. How can anyone so kind and gentle like Mike, that I could
love so much and who could love me so
much, do this to me? I just don’t understand.”
(Two days after the surgery, she was asked how she felt about
being in the hospital. Afterward, she said
that she and Mike were going off on this wonderful cruise as
soon as she got out of the hospital.)
“I’m really not sure how the whole incident happened. Perhaps
it was my fault. Mike says he really didn’t
throw me against the stove. He just pushed me and I fell and hit
the stove. I really believe him. He couldn’t
have wanted to hurt me as badly as I was hurt. It really must
have been an accident.”
