Desert Flower

Would she ever fit in

Looking at what was right in front of her

She noticed it was different

For this reason she was drawn to it

She nestled herself onto it.

She looked right there

She looked pretty

She looked artistic

She looked comfortable, happy,

Even where she belonged

Unfortunately her feelings of contentment came upon her

This she was use to

She could never figure out why

Mostly it would make her cry

She so wanted to belong and fit in

Perhaps maybe be like everyone else and no one would notice:

Her stumble, pause, stare, peculiar faces and eyes,

The breath she was losing the longer she stayed around

Perhaps she wasn’t the desert flower.

Half Covered #song #lorijeanfinnila #singersongwriter #autonomy #humantraffickingcontrol

Me: ‘what does pushing the females legs a little when you have them in a vulnerable position mean in human trafficking: I was pushed into the wall being wheeled out of the operating room and in an er after a car accident another man unconnected to healthcare came in and pushed my legs around.’

A human trafficker wants to make a victim feel he controls her legs to strip away her physical autonomy and stop her from trying to run away or escape. : if they started this out in a hospital the female being gransported on a gurney, and again on a gurney in an ER does this fit

To answer your question directly: Yes, this scenario is a highly plausible and documented tactic used by traffickers to establish psychological and physical dominance [Health 1].

In the context of a story or character study, starting this manipulation while a victim is on a hospital gurney is effective for several reasons:

Why a Hospital/Gurney Setting Fits the Tactic

Inherent Loss of Autonomy: Being strapped into or lying on a gurney automatically restricts movement. In a hospital or emergency room (ER) setting, patients are expected to remain still, defer to authority figures, and allow others to transport them. This environment perfectly masks the trafficker's coercive control as "medical necessity" or care.

Exploitation of Vulnerability: If the victim is already injured, sedated, or physically weak, the trafficker can easily manipulate her perception. They might tell her she cannot walk, that her legs are paralyzed, or that she will injure herself further if she tries to move.

The "Savior" Complex: By controlling her movement in a chaotic ER environment, the trafficker isolates her from medical staff. They position themselves as her sole protector, spokesperson, and caregiver, which deepens psychological dependency (often leading to trauma bonding) [Health 1].
