Please advice this reader. I got a mail and I am gobsmacked. Should he tell or keep his mouth shut?
Hi Chidinma , I am an ardent reader of some of your blog posts. Without wasting your time, I'd like to cut straight to the chase. I am an established medical doctor by profession currently faced with a huge dilemma. Having read Medicine and Surgery in the University and was a superb student, I secretly engaged in unethical practices such as abortions, false pregnancy tests etc for boyfriends who mistakenly knocked up their girlfriends, school mates and girlfriends who needed fake tests as a means to hook their boyfriends to marry them or collect sums of money in the excuse of carrying out abortions.
Ok , I know alot of people are judging me now. I am very aware such acts were unethical and against medical practice, but I was a student back then and full of youthful exuberance.
The saying ''what goes around , comes around '' isn't a lie at all, as karma has found a way of repaying me for all my bad deeds in the past.
My elder brother who has been in the states recently got engaged. He traveled with his fiancee to introduce her to our parents and also to begin marriage proceedings.
Lo and behold, the day came, and I discovered my future sister inlaw to be was a girlfriend to my guy back in school. Worse is that I had carried out two abortions on her after my friend insisted and pleaded with me. I had to warn them then that if such a case happened again, I wouldn't help after complications arose in her uterus..
I felt really bad and guilty after all I did, but consoled myself saying it was the price I had to pay for friendship.
If she had done other subsequent abortions after my warnings , I am unaware since my friend never came back to me with any of such cases.
What do I do now. Do I tell my brother or just keep my mouth shut? What if she had done more abortions or is incapable of having any children? I'd never forgive myself if they both experience childlessness.
