Eric Elizaga: Dr. Stephen Hale

Quotes 

• Dr. Stephen Hale : She's incredibly malnourished, barely 90 pounds. She keeps asking for more food, but we've got to take it slow.

  Amanda Rollins : How is she otherwise?

  Dr. Stephen Hale : I'm sure you noticed the abrasions on her forehead. There's also chafing on her ankles and her wrists. She might have been tied up.

  Olivia Benson : Okay, did you do a tox screen?

  Dr. Stephen Hale : We tried. She looked at the needle and flipped out. Won't answer any questions about her medical history. I doubt she's bathed in weeks.

  Olivia Benson : Okay, what about a rape kit?

  Dr. Stephen Hale : Did she say she'd been assaulted?

  Amanda Rollins : No, but she... she's so traumatized, I wouldn't be surprised.

  Dr. Stephen Hale : Well, she barely let me swab her mouth for saliva. I can't imagine subjecting her to a pelvic exam right now.

  Amanda Rollins : Do you need to keep her overnight?

  Dr. Stephen Hale : I don't think so. You can have her for a few hours. We've already reached out to child services.
