Dear Scott,

How very awful. How awful to have all that very justified anger ALONG with grief & probably some guilt even though it was not Not NOT your fault in any way.

Doctors & nurses have so much power.

When my Mom was dying with cancer, once she asked a nurse for a bedpan. The nurse (I was not there, but believed my Mom for sure) said, "Oh come on Mrs. D - it'll be good for you to get up & walk a bit to the washroom."

The cancer had by then affected my Mom's spine! No WAY she could stand even. My Mom was SO upset. When I heard of it I made a fuss (big thing for me at that time 'mousey' me!!) The nurse actually was made to apologize to my Mom. I'm sorry there's no such resolution in this event.

Please keep in touch to let us support you & know how you're doing Scott.

Much love, Kath
