You know what? I'll reveal an experience I once had.
I am a recovering addict. I overdosed on ecstacy one night.
I was yelled at, called a liar, threatened to be put in a back hallway if I didn't shutup because people were trying to sleep - all because I was having an anxiety attack about dying while lying there alone.
I have never been treated so poorly in my life, and i was upfront and honest to them about what I had used and what happened. I may have been on drugs but i still damn well deserved respect and care not to be treated like a leper.
At one point the nurse actually told me I did it to myself so i should suffer as much as possible.
How can medical staff be so cold? I realize its a hard job but human compassion man!
