“The head of trauma thanks me and in a very jovial manner says, ‘In my day, the term for these patients was jellyfish.’ And he laughs and moves on,” he said. “What do you do with that?”

It's horrifying that a medical professional would express such a callous disregard for human beings.

In my experience, "medical professionals" can be THE most horrifying people on the planet.

They can also be the most compassionate.

But it is truly a realm of extremes. And when you find a bad one - they are REALLY bad.

Yes, it is horrifying. I used to think disabled people were overstating the problem of discrimination against them. I didn’t believe there could be very many people who had a low regard for disabled people. There’s no logical reason for it. Now I know there are a lot of people who hate disabled people to the point of wanting them tortured to death.

A lot of med people use morbid humor as a dodge from facing morbid reality every day.

It doesn't mean they are evil. Just scared, as everyone else.



Unless you follow Jesus!!!
