@Janet Dafoe (Rose49) Since your family was mentioned in the above message, I am tagging you. So sad.
We need somebody to TRUST what we have.
I'm not a stupid woman.
Something is killing us in any way
, health mainly , but also personal, social, familiar, economic factors ..
I really understand she didn't want to live, because that's not suposed to be a "good quality of live", with no help at all, ...
This is hell in life...
Somebody must tell DOCTORS they are behaving CRIMINALY at least, for their LACK of empathy, their lack of professionality, their lack , in the end, of humanity.
NEVER in my entirely professional live I have been able to leave parents ( with disabled children ): Sorry, I don't kow about this matter. Bye.
Never.
I have helped them always as much as I could do my best, giving advices if asked, helping to find economic help, avoiding anxiety conforting them , thinking ways of educative helping , pointing to special doctors or therapies and this was mostly because I WORK WITH PEOPLE and they are not machines.
But the most important thing is because I LISTEN and I am empathic, because I am mother , and I know how important is the health of a son/dougther for a parent, and more if your son has health problems.
In this way , even if we were SIMULATORS ( threre must be millionaire reasons to affect so much people all over the world... ), Medical staff and some "science" MUST BEHAVE , at least, correctly with patients RESPECTING THEM. And they don't do that.
They laugh behind us, ( we are poor people, mentally ill - in Spain we say " La razón para los tontos " - give fools always the reason ), they feel superior to us ( because we don't know "science" , medicine, or difficult things they can understand....).
Yes.
They are rigth.
But you know what?
We are not STUPID,
We can learn from others, share information, find real SCIENCE , colaborate with others
and organize ourselfs for fight toghether in this cause.
How can someone, in XXI cen., think no body is going to know so big ignominy!
As I said, we are not stupid,
And that hurts, really hurts.
We have criticise their "big findings" in PACE
No. They are not professionals.
I understand mental illness in a more affective a respectuose way ( worked before with Autistic people, Down Sindrome, Cerebral P. Etc).
This is OPPOSSITE what they assume when their HIPOCRATIC swear:
RESPECT is the first LAW in ANY human relationship.
Even If we were "mental patients", respect to us as a patients should be their first religion, and that is not real.
Sometimes I wonder if the lack of empathy of these people is due to something really serious ( not joking ).
I don't understand a doctor neglecting that way with a cancer patient...
So.
I feel sorry about Silvia .
I didn't have the pleasure to meet her because I'm new , but I read what she wrote, and really is frustrating and really really sad.
How many Silvias? Silvios? .
Thanks to all for your support.
Big huges !
