Reply #8: So I'm a fundie for [View All]

[gimme a break]

having questions about this? Have you worked with brain-damaged individuals? Or dually diagnosed adults? When I worked for them my top priority was to make sure they had the best care I could give. Excuse me for thinking that a being in a hospice where she's not allowed any interaction for years as good care. The husband wouldn't allow her to have music played in the room. The husband would allow her to sit in a wheel chair and sit in on activities with other hospice patient. And technically, since she's not considered terminal she should have never been admitted to a hospice. Had his (hubby's) attorney not been on the board, she never would have been admitted. The attorney removed himself from the board as soon as they admitted her. And since she is not brain-dead, if there's even a little of a spark of her left, I would consider that cruel.

Of course, I'm basing all of my opinions on my own personal experience with the people I worked with. I have not seen her personally and don't know if there's any of her left. But, I've seen too many disabled people shut away and forgotten for this not to bother me. If that's what you consider a fundie, I guess I am one. But I tend to think of it of being a compassionate human being.
