In Saturday's incident, the victim told police she was attacked between 6:55 a.m. and 7:45 a.m. Saturday by a man in his early 20s.
OLATHE — A hospital employee has been charged with raping two patients at Shawnee Mission Medical Center, including an 87-year-old woman attacked in her hospital bed.
KC hospital employee charged in rape cases
Michael T. Armstrong, 18, of Kansas City, Kan., worked at the hospital as a transporter, moving patients from one place to another. He was charged Tuesday with assaulting the elderly woman on Saturday and another rape in April.
The Associated Press
"She said (the man) came into her room and didn't say anything to her," said Bill Letztek. Merriam police lieutenant Mike Chandler said her head and face and sexually assaulted
The hospital had earlier said its investigation of the April incident showed the attacker could not have been an employee. A released statement also questioned several aspects of the victim's claims.
"She wasn't sure just what time it happened, but she knew the sun was coming up."
her."
Someone checked on her at 7:45 a.m. and the victim reported she had been assaulted, Lietzek said. Merriam were called about 90 minutes later.
The April 8 victim, who is 30, told authorities she was attacked by a brown-haired man in his 20s between 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. in her hospital bed. The man told her he was going to examine her for a hernia, she said.
The hospital's statement after that incident said the rape could not have been caused by a single individual.
"During the shift involved, no male workers were on that floor," the hospital statement said. "Only three male staff members worked that particular shift, and they do not fit the woman's description of her alleged assault."
Medical center officials said hospital employees had checked the woman twice during the time of the purported abuse. Three other employees were working near her
room.
The woman filed a lawsuit against the hospital in July and claimed hospital employees had accused her of lying about the rape. The suit was dismissed last week for procedural errors.
Although the lawsuit of the April 8 victim was dismissed, she can refile it anytime within six months, attorneys in the case said Tuesday.
Armstrong was working when both rapes occurred, authorities said Tuesday. He had been on staff for about a year and a half.
Ruthita Fike, senior vice president for the hospital, said Tuesday there was a difference between what hospital officials know now and what they knew in April
Armstrong is on probation after pleading guilty in June to a misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct for a fight he had with his girlfriend in the hospital parking lot.
"The hospital from the very beginning has cooperated fully with the police." Fike said. "We have never denied that something occurred."
Regular schedule, calls home help slow down homesickness
By Kerrie Gottschalk
Kansan staff writer
Leaving the familiarity and safety of home to attend college can be a big emotional adjustment for some students.
In a pamphlet, "Testing Your Wings - Homesickness," Linda Keeler, a physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, explains some common and extreme symptoms of homesickness
The pamphlet says that students' homesickness is a normal reaction to missing homes, families, friends and pets.
"Adjustments of learning how to cope in a new environment take time to develop." Keeler writes.

common symptoms of homesickness
include crying and sadness.
For some students, homesickness disappears once they feel that they fit in and have adjusted to a new schedule, the pamphlet said.
But for others, knowing that home sickness is a normal reaction to leaving home does not necessarily alleviate their pain and loneliness.
"Most everybody experiences homelessness in some point of life, and the degree of that reaction varies in family groups," associate director of counseling.
The pamphlet suggests that a student who has a more difficult time with homesickness should develop a structured scheduled.
Other suggestions include calling home once or twice a week but not on a daily basis.
"Establish regular routines for eating and sleeping," the pamphlet says. "Make specific plans for social outings or leisure."
Regular mail, such as a magazine subscription or the hometown newspaper, also can help students cope with homesickness
Some people, however, can become debilitated by home sickness before they make that first visit home, Janine Demo, health educator at Watkins, said.

Usually, homesickness is a self-
Some people become depressed and introverted, Demo said.
"Those people want to go home so badly," she said. "They are consumed by their homesickness."
If talking to friends or family does not seem to help, the student should consider making an appointment at KUCounseling and Psychological Services. Demos said.
The pamphlet says students should seek professional help if they become pessimistic, change eating and sleeping habits, cry excessively, concentrate poorly or have suicidal thoughts
HIV tests offered
Kansan staff report
People who test HIV positive do not necessarily have the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, but they have been exposed to the AIDS virus.
Starting today, Watkins Memorial Health Center is providing students with anonymous HIV testing. This is the second semester the tests have been offered. ___
Anonymous testing allows a student to have the HIV test done without identifying himself. It also means there is no way to trace the results back to the person who is tested.
This semester, testing will be every Thursday between 1 and 4 p.m.
Students who want to be tested should call the Watkins regular appointment desk and ask for anonymous testing. Students do not have to use their real name when making the appointment.
The test is free.

Kansan staffreport

All hospitalized employees were treated and sent home Tuesday. They were back at work at 8 a.m.yesterday.Hasting said.

Hasting said repairs had been minimal. He did not estimate the cost of the repairs.
