Ahh, yes. A part of the medical profession has no decency whatsoever and seem to be perpetrators of outright junk science.
A while ago a friend of mine had an accident. A plain, simple honest accident. Nothing more, nothing less.
He was trying to poke a vent hole in a 5 gallon steel can with a Buck knife and it glanced off and hit him in his wrist and left a really nasty gash. Off to the hospital for him!
Because it was a knife wound in the wrist they had to ask him if it was intentionally self-inflicted. He truthfully answered it wasn't.
They asked, he told them. The issue should have been dropped right then and there. It was not intentionally self-inflicted. He had not been trying to hurt himself. The end.
But no. They just felt they HAD to get some kind of admission of an attempt at suicide or self-mutilation. They kept needling him.
Then they started bandying words and trying to confuse him into making a grammatical error that could be taken out of context. He was smart enough not to take the bait.
Finally he lost his temper and snapped "I got in a knife fight in the Northside. OK?!"
Can't say I blame him. I've done and said things like that.
It's called giving someone what they ask for.
When in hospital for operation I am asked if I'm abused by my husband and there's help. I say it's none of your damn business. I get very testy when asked. It's truly none of their business!

ReplyDeleteThe proper answer to that question is "No. I beat HIM."
DeleteGood one! I will remember that the next time I'm in the hospital. Nowadays you really have to watch what you say.
