Absolutely agree with the conversation(s) here!

It baffles me how biased and unruly healthcare professionals are. The abusers are just as guilty as the professionals who know about these things and choose to do nothing; and professionals who are biased and unwilling to accept the truth are no better. Add to this the Government who knows very well about these abuses and chooses to write relaxed policy and legislation to allow for allow cover-ups to maintain a public facade of do no harm. Add to this all the third party organizations who have conflicts of interest, who continue to save face and protect the perpetrators for fear of repercussions.

CLASSIC, CLASSIC, CLASSIC!

The healthcare system has become a perfect environment for abuse; self-perpetuating cultural and systemic abuse. Their denial, projection and cover-ups have (overtime) normalized abuse on a grand scale and nothing will change until they are exposed and forced to acknowledge the problems that exist; the problems that THEY have created.

This large-scale and cultural change starts with the individual, however, professionals are scared to speak up because they know what happens to fellow colleagues and or clients when they speak up. (There is a culture of fear and intimidation that is SO well documented in large institutions like healthcare). Because clients have little to no credibility on their own (unless they conglomerate and stand together), the only way to make a change is to wait for professionals to speak up (which very few do), or for clients to file class-action lawsuits, spearhead social movements and prove to the Government that full public judicial inquiries are necessary in order to expose mass corruption and abuses in their systems. In order to do this, we would have to prove to the Government that it is in their best interest to do so; otherwise they will continue to protect themselves and their institutions.

CLASSIC, CLASSIC, CLASSIC.

This is a cycle of abuse by those in power who have ZERO accountability and even though it is the SAME - EXACT - STORY - EVERY - TIME, (Catholic Church Scandals, Canadian Residential Schools, etc) nothing ever changes overnight! When will Government take responsibility for their broken systems and protect citizens who depend on them!? It is absolutely mind boggling.

Dear Government, your systemic abuse and culture of fear and intimidation may very well protect and maintain a functioning system free from accountability; but overtime it always ends up far worse than it should ever be and the truth will out! Why not spare a whole lot of embarrassment, not to mention insurmountable levels of abuse and trauma and deaths by taking action now and forcing staff to be held accountable!?

I gotta take a moment to reflect on this BIG PICTURE mentality. The longer I spend thinking and researching this stuff, the more I lose faith in humanity. There are SO many healthcare professionals who want to speak up about this. If we survivors can band up with them - we can combine our voices and together we might just be able to change things.
