Welcome. My name is Darius and I want to share a true life story with you. When
Dr. Marcus Oakley frowned during the exam and carefully asked who had treated her before him, Elaine simply replied
that it was her husband. He was a gynecologist, too. But the doctor went silent. He set his instruments aside and
told her she needed immediate lab work because what I’m seeing inside shouldn’t
be there. His tone made her heart sink with dread. She didn’t yet understand
exactly what had so alarmed the experienced specialist. In that moment, her familiar world, where Sterling was
not only a loving husband, but a trustworthy doctor, cracked for the first time. Elena sat in the chair,
trying not to think about how strange the doctor’s question had sounded. Marcus Oakley seemed like a serious,
thoughtful man, not someone who threw words around carelessly. His office was
located in a new medical center on the outskirts of the city, and she had only decided to come because the pain had
become unbearable. For the past 6 months, she had been suffering from sharp spasms in her lower abdomen that
came in waves, forcing her to double over. Her cycle had completely broken down. The bleeding was painful and
unpredictable. Every time, Sterling would reassure her, explaining that changes like this were natural at 42
years old and that her body was just adjusting. But something inside her resisted his explanations. Her intuition
told her that what was happening to her body was far from normal. When Sterling left to visit his ailing mother in
Atlanta, she decided to make the secret visit to an outside physician. Dr. Oakley carefully studied her ultrasound
results, shaking his head from time to time. His face remained professionally neutral, but Elaine noticed the muscles
in his jaw tighten. The doctor changed the sensor angle several times, trying
to get a clearer image. Finally, he put the device down and turned to her. There
was something in his eyes that made her instinctively clench her fists. It wasn’t just professional interest. It
was closer to shock at what he’d seen. “You said your husband has been treating you for 5 years?” he asked, wiping his
hands with antiseptic. And what exactly has he been prescribing you this whole time? Elena tried to remember. It was
usually hormonal pain medication and occasionally anti-inflammatory suppositories. Sterling always insisted
that he knew her body better than any outside doctor. Dr. Oakley walked over to the ultrasound monitor and pointed to
an irregularly shaped dark spot in the uterine area. “See this growth?” he said, his voice strained. It’s a foreign
body, and by all indications, it’s been there for a very long time. It looks like an oldstyle intrauterine device or
IUD that has become embedded in the tissue. Elena felt the blood drain from
her face. An IUD? She repeated, not believing her own ears. I’ve never had
an IUD. I would know if someone had placed something in me. The doctor took out the medical chart she’d brought with
her and flipped through the pages. There are no records here of an intrauterine contraceptive being inserted, he
confirmed. But things like this don’t appear on their own. Someone must have put it in and it didn’t happen
yesterday.
