A 17-year-old alleged rape victim says she is “disappointed” that it took reporting by the media for her to receive an offer of an apology from a Queensland hospital, seven weeks after the last correspondence regarding her complaint.
Guardian Australia revealed on Thursday the year 11 student, Tilly*, left the hospital in tears without undergoing a full examination in August after waiting three hours due to no trained staff being available. Tilly said that when a doctor did come, she admitted to not being qualified to perform the procedure and appeared “aggravated”.
