Years ago I had a pedophile patient (not Jewish, B"H), who was under orders for chemical castration. Basically it involved him showing up weekly for a high dose injection of progesterone to surpress his testosterone levels thereby shutting down his libido. The only problem was that he didn't like getting the shots! So more often than not, he wouldn't show up which meant I had to call his parole officer until finally one day he didn't show up and I called the officer only to discover that he had reoffended. If the patient isn't motivated, then the only real cure is physical castration and who would authorize that?

Sounds familiar...
ReplyDeleteNo, it was a different patient, not you.
