Medical Advantages Of Hospitals (Or: f*ck Me, There Gotta Be Bright Sides)

[Ronin]

So multiple people I both trust & can't just shrug off even if I wanted told me through the last few days they'd rather see me in a hospital...

And I'm trying to not throw a fit about my history but yeah. Medical trauma in spades and then medical abuse topped it.

So, advantages of hospitals? :sneaky:

I can be less resistant to things if I can persuade myself it's got some serious good sides good for my job.

Clean sheets you don't have to wash? Food delivery? The roof probably doesn't leak....

I guess it's also good to remember that just because SOME people are bad and dangerous, ALL people aren't. Wishing the very best for you!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sideways]

Space where you can stop worrying about keeping yourself safe. Others get paid to take on that responsibility for you.

Is your medical trauma from a different geographic location and time?

Evolution....systems and policies change to regulate how people treat other people. It’s not perfect cuz people still F up, but there’s more accountability for when someone does F up. More ways to voice concerns and keep safe.

I’m on your side no matter what!

Depends entirely on the hospital. Some you’d have to shoot me outside of their Emergency dept. to get me to go inside, and no guarantees. Others are so damn good I’d be hard pressed between going there and going on vacation to the Caribbean. Most fall somewhere in between.

Spoiler: Speaking of where...

I actually know a few people who’ve used some of the programs below... Members of the European Network | European Network of Rehabilitation Centres for Survivors of Torture ...and speak really highly of them. Most high levels of care are day programs, rather than inpatient, because the whole confinement thing tends to creat more problems than they solve for certain groups of people <cough> Although some are inpatient, or paired with nearby hospitals that do inpatient. And some of them have split programs, some for vets, some for civilians/refugees... and most also have complex trauma tracts, for the simple reason that “countries in conflict” & wars in general = complex trauma. it’s a new list / new org (2017) so I don’t know if you’ve seen it, yet. IRCT was the only thing out there for ages. Also stellar resources. International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims

Worst case scenario upside? :sneaky: I tend to enjoy breaking out of places designed to keep people in. Especially places that have legal and ethical limits on how far they’re willing to go to keep me there.

The roof probably doesn't leak....

I serious read & am tryna seriousthink all said btw, just this: :hilarious: Priceless.

(My single best way to even approach some badlands is humor, and Roofs safe, all other biohazards are secondary worry = win.)

All the cleanliness

Cute and/or Funny nurses

Being looked after

Interesting question for me too. I can't be anywhere that has a locked door between me and the outside and I don't know how to get past that. Plus the idea of being at the mercy of doctors is terrifying.

Sadly this is not an option here...it at least not one the VA will pay for :(

 

[Ronin]

Yeah I have the (related / slight turn angle) issue re. breakouts...

Not the held that's an issue.
Can be / oft is, plain fun ;)

((If locks an issue: Imagine them not there & how do you reach that. Two, what ELSE is useful as a door. Three, it's outwait game. Even good guards are human. Sooner or later they slip. So just playing along till then. Not being bored to death meantime. And other lost in own head.

If people an issue: Aren't terribly creative. They can't come up with things past certain limit. And if they overdo or do badly, I'm dead, so it's not gonna worry me. Pansies. :D >> So where do you find *your* victories? Mine are usually people, as said. Cooperating or not, but still in interaction.

If sense of trapped an issue: Everything you ever learned about your worth & skills & purpose. You got a goal out to get do. Do that many times. Did that, too. Someone with that strong goal? Ain't trapped, just stuck in one shitty place a time.

If on sea: Goodness :D Them people are keeping me in the safest place to be at the moment. Even doing my job for me. So I got to just not get one & million infections I'm talented at getting while being bored proper till we're at nearest port. And figure out trust/socializing problems bc bet at least one other person hates that ship as much as I do.

Things like that.))

But that's work mode & when working.
Seeking care / personal doesn't mix with that.

It has a feew workarounds but they're short lived.

Heckuva more tangles / wanna word bout it & nut it out just one of these things my body is hardlock Don't talk it proper biatch about. :meh:

Or: Not afraid of being at their mercy. Afraid of them not having mine.

Two different plans....for work or self care. Always.
If I get you, brain can shift and manage anything needed work wise cuz it has task/purpose. Things change drastically when it’s self care....feels wrong, bad, trapped, nasty.
Maybe there’s common ground? Tell brain it’s work, purposeful and there’s criteria for completion.
Dunno, a thought?

 

[TruthSeeker]

Am here for you whatever you decide...Good luck with that decision....

Cha. Pretty darn brilliant, Chicken. ;) So goal's stabilizing / more durable common ground on this one. Helps lots.

And then the wheres eetc, but I'm not there yet / will sort easier when I got my reactions outta darn way.

Was one o'da things I learned with friends weeklong - I tend to shrug off the past damnedest as just mental crap but worsens every very physical one. (Or: Mental disorders are actual medical problem, phew, who knew? :cool: )

So trying to pay attention to, hence bugging y'all with million Qs.
