[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1953519, member: 401801"] I'm so sorry they let you down. I do find that people in all areas of care are overtaxed and can't keep up with current developments, be it in mental or diabetic areas, or anywhere else really. Some really do see it as their calling to help people. A friend of mine works with children who are deaf, blind, and autistic (and usually a bunch of other things), and she bends over backwars learning how to communicate with them through signlanguage written in the palms of their hands. Sometimes they get agressive, so she's had her fingers broken, chairs thrown at her, stuff like that... But she'll do anything for them. Over the last decade she's gotten a bigger group to care for, longer hours, and less people to cover shifts. There's too few knowledgable people there and two deaths that I know of, because of it. (Tasking interns with delicate people... Not good. But they found that out the hard way) So I know there's two sides to the healthcare coin... Still, I can't help but get mad when the ball's dropped. Either because of a complacent psych, or specialist or doc, or because the people who do their best to do the job right, get defunded so much they can't do it properly anymore. (Or worse, end up burnt-out themselves, at home). [/QUOTE]
