Every time they had made mistakes with me, they have always refused to pick up the pieces. That is what I hate the most. No one had ever tried to follow up or repair the damage done. If I tried to talk about it I was verbally abused. It has gone on off and on for as long as I've been treated, over 20 years.

I still suffer from something that happened half a year ago, I would need counseling for it and a med change, but nothing will happen since the mistake was "nothing". In their eyes.

I know every interaction with health care can be the beginning of the end.

I know it's not me. I know people who work in health care and see their coworkers neglect and abuse patients.

Possible trigger:

The hospital near me, a doctor bullied nurses into giving someone the wrong meds, which ended with a very terrible death of the patient, the nurses had to have crisis counselling, the doctor was actually investigated but was found having made NO mistakes. They can basically murder you and the doctor can work like normal. Actually she came in the very next day, not at all affected by having killed a patient. We have a lot of sick, antisocial elements in our health care system and doctors seem to not be able to come under criminal investigation, they can do as they please. The only time I heard of a punishment it was a doctor in my county that molested children in his clinic. After he served, he went back there and started working with children again.

It is very easy for me to think that I am alone and I brought this on myself, but puts things in perspective seeing how patients had a much rougher deal, and no actions were still taken.
