YES i live in a freaking town with 400 people. they dont have the options that a CITY like dallas has where every other 10 or so miles is a clinic or a hospital or a doctor. i have to go OUT OF TOWN to see ANYONE. and the MCKINNEY if Cracking knows is small TOO so theres not much there anyway. so i also have to goto PLANO. (if cracking knows) and even there is just as much as mckinney.
i know everyone doesnt know where im tlaking about and isnt familiar and only cracking prob is. but basically its not in my ability
financially to goto dallas.
first of all the nurse and doc dont want me driving and if THATS how its gonna be. even though sometimes yes i cant drive THEN i dont have the
ABILITY in TIME to go anywhere but this next rural small town.

She lives with an older alcoholic father who has his own problems. He can't help her get better if he can't help himself. And her mother isn't around to help her either. I think Newtus is crying out for that nurse to understand that the injectable medication that they are forcing her to take is not giving her a "good quality of life". If the medicine isn't working and only making things worse for her then they should not continue to force something into her body that isn't working. In my opinion I think this is what pushes her to want to drink the alcohol and to want to discontinue her medication. I don't think Newtus wants to just "not comply". It sounds to me like she has some very serious issues with the medication and they continue to up the medicine and force her to take it by injection. What better way to shut her up by over injecting her with a horrible medication that is taking away the "quality of her life". She is still hearing voices even on the medicine. She still has the same flipping problems on that medication as she does off of it. So why force her to continue that injection if it's making things worse for her?
