You were really brave and set a good example for all of us. Way to go Beth! Aw, thank you! I'd be truly happy to know that this experience has helped someone else.
You didn't get 100% validation and I feel she was probably trying to save face.
You put that so well...she does a lot of saving face, actually. In fact, that might be a big part of why I don't trust her.
I do feel like she heard you though. Unless she's deaf, she heard me, alright I am hopeful she makes changes that benefit you in the future. You also did a service to her other patients by speaking up. You are right, so many people fail to speak up and they give their power away. Good for you for asking for the respect you deserve. I am profoundly touched by this post. Thank you so much, fern. It's always important for me to speak out for people who feel they can't. I'll consider it all a success if other patients are helped by my rotten experience.
