Wendy,
I think everyone who has responded to my post is
helping me find a new perspective on that event.
That might be the most I can hope for.
As absurb as it might sound, I learned a gigantic
lesson at age 4. That adults can me no more prepared
for some situations than a young child. I saw that in the eyes of
the nursing staff back then.
At the moment that one nurse went sort of berserk, I realized that
she wasn't up to the task of being there. At that time, I saw
her as a "broken person". The way the other nurses let her go
at me for awhile (before removing her) still has me wondering.
That made me a little less trustful of other people. Now, I
assume that they were in shock, and a bit clueless.
