Over the past year, increased regulatory pressure in multiple regions like UK OFCOM and Australia's eSafety has led to higher operational costs, including infrastructure, security, and the need to work with more specialized service providers to keep the site online and stable.

Do you know the story about this little girl? Luckily, her family IS suing and I hope to God they, as you said, own the hospital when it's over! I also wish they would take this doctor's license away. I can't believe these doctors can stand up in court and have the audacity to defend their actions after what they did to this poor little girl and her family. I remember watching the story when it was playing out. It was just horrific then and it's horrific now. I hope there's at least some justice for this little girl ( well, I'm calling her a little girl but she's actually in her 20s now. But she was only 9 years old when this happened I think) and her family, although money is certainly not going to give her back what she lost.
This is a textbook example of a lawsuit that needs to send a message. There needs to be damages... actual and punitive. There should be petitions on change.org demanding a review of the facility and people's licenses (if they're still practicing). There needs to be a Law passed in the Statehouse prohibiting this practice from re-occurring. The Feds need to get involved and review the entire healthcare system. So many things need to happen that it would take a million years to do it all... but it would be worth it. They need to own the hospital, the land, and the doughnuts in the cafe.

Yes, I just think most of these get swept under the rug because nobody thinks it's important. Who cares if you deprive a mentally ill person of their rights? And this girl wasn't even mentally ill, she just had some rare illness that some doctors didn't believe was real. I've been there before too. I don't understand why doctors think just because they haven't heard of an illness that it's not real. I'm sure there are all kinds of illnesses out there that doctors don't know about that are perfectly real and have perfectly real symptoms that are affecting perfectly real people. But if the doctor's never heard of it, they'll tell you it's all in your head or that you're making it up for attention. The doctors all think that they are so great that everybody wants their attention. The last thing on earth I want is attention from a doctor.

Agreed. I prefer to get as little attention from a doctor as possible. There are some big-headed doctors out there who think they know everything. If they haven't heard of it, it doesn't exist. If a doctor doesn't want to listen to me, fine.... But if you commit malpractice, I'm coming after you and your license.
I'm sure there are plenty of illnesses out there that haven't been officially discovered yet.... Look at the 'new' China virus. Could you imagine if every doctor had refused to believe it existed? We'd have an even bigger nightmare on our hands. Fortunately, that didn't happen... but it just as easily could have.
I swear all these medical mishaps and screw ups makes me feel bad for the decent medical people, and even makes me regret even wanting to be one (even though I would've been a good one), probably would've been one of the statistics of one who killed themselves, but still.

Not doctors, but when I was younger... well actually doctors too.... Everyone thought I was faking it, they thought it was in my head. Doctors told my parents I was faking it to get out of school. The pain? Over an incision site from a prior surgery. My mom took me out of pure "what the hell" and a "if it doesn't work, she's faking it" type of thing doctor looked at me and was like "hi, I remember you!" and said ok, I'm going to give you this shot--it was a local, with a huge freaking needle. I had to watch it go in. In part I think he had me watch because what kid would allow it if faking it. After a while.... no pain... none. I was happy! He said "well, it's pinched nerves from scar tissue, we'll get it taken care of from surgery, she'll just have a few numb spots." I could even tell at that point that my mom didn't really believe me. My father didn't (he didn't even travel to come up because he 'knew I was faking') My grandmother had a 'told you something was wrong' because grandmothers are cool a lot of times lol.
Seeing your story, and the others of other people.... I realize I was probably one shot away from being in and out of psych wards. Some of my family even tried to make appointments and get me into a psychiatrist for "faking pain".
Huh.... things that you realize when you reflect on your life...
Lord knows I've done a lot of reflecting. If things at a few points had gone differently, perhaps I wouldn't be where I am today. But life is a big learning experience and, although it may be too late for this life, there's always the next time around.

I never understood how putting a depressed or suicidal person in debt is supposed to help them feel better.

I'm not going to the hospital, but I am going to the program on Friday. I'm skipping Thursday because I gotta go to my old college tomorrow to send some transcripts out

Just to make sure I can get up... considering I'm doubling the pain meds so I can even tolerate pain... I should probably go to bed now. Have to crawl around on the floor tomorrow possibly , and Friday.
night all

Not in bed yet lol, almost--it's at work, replacing last computer, and possible removing a computer if a setup went well (but doubt it, a printer was discontinued like 5 years ago).

Yeah I will. What was ridiculous is I didn't even say I had a plan. I just said I was a little more suicidal and its "oh! We need to hospitalize her!" ...I'll be avoiding trigger words like "worse" and "active"
