  • That’s a lot of medication for someone young.

    I imagine he could feel very angry, sad and resentful about that. And the yet he can’t express it to the thing that’s being so unfair to him how do you tell your illness it’s being unfair?

    So it’s just sat there until someone comes along and reminds him of how unfair it is and how angry he is by telling him to take his medication, and again he’s feeling powerless.

    So he takes what little power he has back, he refuses his medication and attacks the nurses.

    Extreme situation, given it’s potentially life and death stuff, regular human behaviour. Who hasn’t snapped at someone when we’re in a bad mood when they were trying to help?







  • Disclaimer, not an American. I’m answering with my perspective for what it’s worth and because no one else has.

    From what I’m able to see here, there’s a lot of Americans who are doing absolutely fine. Many of them. Seems there’s enough who are that the ones who complain about their unreasonable treatment don’t have enough voice to change things.

    It’s true that every human society has rich and poor, the ones with abundance and those who struggle. The weird part from where I’m standing is that not every Human society declares itself the Greatest country in the world.

    I wonder how much that kind of propaganda impacts on people’s ability to see the flaws and make the changes. Seems many Americans don’t even see the systemic problems there as problems. They see the people struggling as the problem.

    When I hear stories of things like children who refuse to swear an oath of loyalty every morning being shamed and ostracised I really do fear for their ability to be honest with each other.
