Oh my gosh! This feedback is helpful but it's tragic that we all had to deal with this insensitive behavior. My heart goes out to everyone here who was dragged through the system. I think this is more common with female patients. It makes me furious that we have stooped to the point where WE have to defend ourselves. When the doctors don't bother to "First Do No Harm" it's a free for all to staff members. I actually met a woman in this ward who was told to strip, cough and squat in front of a female and MALE staff member. I do not think that is legal in ANY situation. Prisons, jails and state institutions would be shut down for that misconduct. The really sad thing was this woman was, like me, just desperate for help at any cost.
I am so proud of you all for learning to stand up for your right to have your voice heard. This gives me so much inspiration and less anxiety about what to do next time I run into this dehumanization.
Hugs to us all and shame on these workers for their ugly and heartless actions.
