I was treated like dirt at the hospital when no broken bones showed up on the x-rays. It was like if the car wasn't demolished, and you did not have severe cuts, broken bones, you had no right to be there!
I have never felt right since. Just never got over it!
Amazing isn’t it that there is an adverse reaction to reaching out and seeing the person as a whole. Not just a broken bone or a test result.
It seem to me that technology, and evidenced based practice hasn’t helped, but it’s more than that, it’s a general feeling in society, a competitive edge, a fight to the death, a lack of acceptance of any perceived weakness, or being gentle and kind. it’s really hard to be nice to someone without them thinking that you’re patronizing them or in some way abusing them. People are really easily offended, almost waiting to be abused. I should close, I have said too much already.Barb
Thank you barb5ash. It has been years and fortunately the memories of loving support and humor from my boyfriend numb the memories of pain. I am currently on disability. Although the fatigue really bothers me and I have random flares. My days are not as painful as they were in the past.
I got a post concussion in June and I thought fibro fog was bad enough. Now, my head is really messed up. My short term memory has grown shorter. On the positive side the scar on my head is not as bad as I imagined it would be. Brain injuries are scary. I can walk and talk. YES!!! Life is good
My Chiropractor is one of the few who sees us as 'one unit', although I am fortunate that my GP and Rheumatologist are basically of the same mind set. I dread having to deal with anyone else!
How sad, bet you didn't even receive a get well card, I know I didn't!
