I believe in telling 100% the truth, I have said this before, and let the chips fall where they may. Lying does no one any good. I agree with you on that one. Ever go to a Medicaid office? I was treated very nasty, and most of those folks behind their screens, seem to be quite curt with everyone. I also didn't like the one doc. who did my screening. Small, dark office, not clean, and he didn't have much empathy. When you are sick and hurting, those kinds of people are the last kind you want to deal with. This is where I find objection.
These folks have power over you and I find they use it. If compassion ruled, those of us that hurt, would do better, both physically and mentally.
Put into that mix, "some" families who abandon, and you get a patient that is in a very depressed state. Thank God for NT.....
I think that is why you are here too Lit Love...to offer help and encouragement, even when circumstances are not the best. Have a good rest of the night. ginnie
