He never did a day of time. The cops finished their halfassed investigation before I was even out of the hospital. They spent more time scolding me for not having a restraining order (I'd made a very calculated decision that it was likely to make things worse by giving him one more grievance to want to punish me for) than they did interviewing him. They never looked at any physical evidence.

Oh, and I signed out of the hospital AMA after four days because the hospital didn't have a security guard anywhere near my room and wouldn't let me have somebody stay in my room overnight. Somebody had tried to kill me twice and was walking free. They wouldn't even lock the door to my room or keep my name under a folder or something.

For obvious reasons I'm going to take your word for what a great doc it is. :/
