Today I was going to get into the elevator at my doctor's office. I rounded the corner to see the door open. So I stepped into it. I imediately turned to see if my floor had been pushed as there were several people on it. When a tall man told me to get out of the elevator. I turned in pure shock at him. when he said it again. Get off the elevator no one wants you on here with them. I started crying, tho no one can tell the way my face sits. I just froze in fear, why was this man being so mean to me? Oh, please he shared his thoughts with me. All of them, said I looked like a freak, that he couldn't believe I would even leave my house, on and on. When I didn't do what he told me to do he then put his hands on my arms and pushed me out of the elevator. I am still quite shaken by this. I stood my ground tho, how don't ask. I pushed the button and the door opened and I got right back on that elevator. I was histerical tho like I said no one but me knew it. If they would have looked close enough they would have seen the tears rolling down. I cannot believe the man but I also cannot believe the others that were in there did not do a thing. I have never felt so helpless in my entire life. Once inside my doctor's office, karen , new something was wrong. I wrote on paper some of what had just happened, she got the security guards. The police were called in. Yes I filed charges on this man. I just still cannot believe what happened today. I have never been treated with such hatred in my life. And for those people to just stand there and not help me, well I am ashamed of them. I just had to share this with all of you. Always Vicki Lynn

Oh My God Vicki Lynn

I hardly know what to say to you, I am COMPLETELY horrified, mortified & disgusted by the ignorant, mean & heartless actions of this man....worse still the total lack of reaction from any of the other people in the elevator. The fact that there are Doctors suites in this building proves that anybody with half a brain knows that you are a visiting patient. It is only natural human instinct to feel compassion for a person you see challenged or less fortunate than yourself, so quite clearly this pig of a man is a few chromosones short & not worthy of sharing this planet with a lady as gorgeous, beautiful, caring & loving as you. I think that it is he we should all feel compassion for, as not having the capacity to care for a fellow human being in your obvious current physical condition proves that he is missing out on the true meaning of life... treat others as you would like to be treated, it's what makes the world go round. He is obviously a VERY unhappy and shallow person whom I'm sure lives his fate of karma each day possibly without even knowing it, as I'm sure if your Doc were to peel back his physical layers all he would find would be black sludge. Where as people like 'us' are treatable and curable, one would have to wonder what hope there is for this man?

I have thought of you so often Vicki Lynn since joining this website, for what you have been through and still go through 24/7 makes me feel ashamed for struggling with my life. You are an inspiration to me..the way that you offer comfort to others when you yourself deal with so much everyday. I had a trachie in for one week, the thought that you have had one in for months is something very hard for me to comprehend...you are a miracle. What you have endured & sacrificed to survive is a true testament to the amazing woman that you are, and to do this maintaining your dignity and strength the whole 15 years. Do not let this man bring you down, he does not deserve the oxygen in his lungs and most certainly not the chance to affect you with his negative energy... although I realise this is much easier said than done. People see what is on the outside, they forget that the truth can only be found on the inside. This man must be blind for I am on the other side of the world and I feel your warmth all around me every time I visit this site, so how he could be standing next to you & miss it.....is testament to the sludge I mentioned.

It's a shame you didn't get his details as what he did to you is called 'ASSAULT' and he should be treated as the criminal that he obviously is.

I hope that you can feel my cuddles and that he can feel my kicks in his shins

Thinking of you Vicki Lynn & sending my love & positive vibes to you...YOU ARE A STAR

Thank you Kelley, for you post, I so needed to hear that, I finished writing the story. I was so upset about this I didn't finish it. I am still quite upset by this....Thank you , Vicki

What a terrible experience for you Vicki. I can't believe you have had to endure such cruelty and lack of understanding from another human after all you have suffered.

I can't belive anyone could be so unkind or so bad mannered. I can only say good for you for standing your ground and what courage to get back into the lift. I would not have had that courage.

This man assaulted you when he touched you and you did right to file charges against him. But you don't really need this do you. You just want to be able to go about your business as you need to. My thoughts are with you. Lots of love to you from England.

I am shocked to read this. How the **** (editted out swearing!) can someone say things like this? I never knew such scum existed. If I were there I think I would have had to inflict some damage on the p***k (excuse my language). How the hell could anyone stand by?

Vicki - Im glad you pressed charges - he physically and verbally assulted you and needs to be dealt with.

Please keep us updated if they catch the man. If you are up to it - this should go in your paper too - name and shame him. Though I undertand if you do not want the attention.

I feel for you, and hope posting here goes some way to cheering you up

Here's a smile for you:

Oh Vicki� What can I say? Pity your husband wasn�t with you at the time. On second thoughts No, he would probably be up on an assault charge if he had been with you.

You are a beautiful, caring person, inside and out, and no matter what that sh**thead said. You know and we know that moron has a BIG problem.

Take care

Rosemary

Dear Vicki

What a shock it must have been. He was a nasty man who verbally and physically abused you. Most of us would have felt intimidated, but you were so brave in facing up to him. Next time kick the person (self defence , of course) in the goolies! Sometimes I wish there was a Spiderman out there.

What you must find galling is the fact the others just let it happen ! I hope you get over this - don't let it get you down. Take care .

Best wishes
Vinod (wishing he was Spiderman)

Hi Vicki

I am so happy to hear that you took further action.. when I replied to you the first time you had not finished your story so now that I read this I am happy for you. Just for the reason that you have stood up for yourself when you could have just let it go....& he obviously picks his targets well, as only a coward can. Discrimination is never tolerated or acceptable, especially toward a person suffering from illness. It is clear this man has no people skills nor social etiquette, but hopefully because of your courage to stand your ground he will be forced to learn the hard way. Who'd want to be in his shoes now? :footinmouth: I'm sure the police were only too willing to help you as much as they could, and as we know that 1 in 3 people get cancer.... God help him if any of the officers have family who have been touched by this terrible disease :help: . There is NO excuse that could ever justify his behaviour today...nothing, nada, zero.

Life is like a circle..what goes around

Sorry if I have gone on Vicki but I find your story one of the most appalling I have ever heard, and the fact that I am a passionate & very emotional person my heart sank when I read your words. Just know that we all care so much about you and I am just happy to read that you are ok....remember that he is COMPLETELY insignificant as far as your special life goes.

Thinking of you

I spend about 5-6 hours on net forums every day and I often read posts where people have had issues with life events and it helps to express them on a forum, which feels like 'home'.

Few, however stick in my head. I have been walking about today thinking about this incident and I feel ashamed to be a human being, ie in the same species as this scumbag.

Vicki - all I can say is DO NOT let his comments get you down. If it wasn't you then, it would have been someone else for another reason who would have experienced his abuse. Do not take it personally

Hope you have a better day today

Hey James I'm with you...this is one that is hard for me to shake too. It is not good to hold on to negative feelings I know, but I'm having a hard time getting this scumbag out of my head...I really cannot believe that a person is even capable of this type of behaviour. I have to agree with you that it was not personal & if not Vicki today somebody else tomorrow. I'm sure being the animal he is that he hasn't even given this incident a second thought, which makes me even more mad that he is getting this attention from us... it's just a good thing he doesn't know it!!! Besides it's not attention for him, rather support for our Vicki

Have to say the team effort feels good...hope this is helping you Vicki!! Kelley ( :

This is not a man but a depraved monster. He is obviously sick, sick in the head. I should think the others in the lift were just stunned. They might even have thought it was a sort of scam because normal people just don't behave like that.
Imagine that he probably has a family.
My God. I daren't think what he is like with them. He is obviously a schizo. But that was no help to you at the time.
Lots and lots of warm thoughts but I just wish I could stop feeling this huge anger about someone who I suppose realy needs pity for being born with such a foul, unspeakable nature.
He will never have the privilege of knowing you, dear Vicki. But try to forget it. That was yesterday and everyone adores you! IshbelXXXX

Thanks to everyone. I think I was in such shock for I have never been talked to like that in my life. But I now know that there are those out there and I will be somewhat cauious however it will not change who I am. Tho that did mess with me yesterday, my husband, my family and all my friends, I thank all of you for helping me thru that. If you haven't ever been in that situation you have no idea how that felt. I pray I never go thru it again. Lord I have enough to deal with without that, that is for sure...I did get my speech theraphy appt. finnaly. It is this thursday. I am a little bit scared for I don't know what to expect, plus it has been so long that I am afraid that it will be that much more painful for me..Things have just not been going my way. The blood work the did last week showed that my liver count was extremely high. I am to have a cat scan for this. That has got me in a fright. AS we all know this tends to go to the liver or lungs. All I want is a break, just a small one. Of course I am not the only one that wants one tho. Pray and Pray some more...Always, Vicki Lynn

Can we all say a private prayer for Vicki tonight at say 10pm. When more than one person prays at the same time prayers give great power.

Just hoping that today is better for you Vicki.

My best wishes Pauline

Vicki, I am so sad and angered at what happen to you
Will not say anymore as we have talked about this and my opion to what should be done to this Man
not repeatable on here

Paul

Vicki,

I have been reading your posting and always been admired your attitude, which gives me energy!

It is uncompareable but I was once commented on my forearm scar by a stranger 'Yuk! What have you done to yourself?' and that was enough for me to put dyed tube bandage on ever since - (it was late night tube in London by the way).

I will think about you at 10pm today with all the other people on this side of the pond.

Very best wishes to you,

R xxxxx
