Antibiotics??? Probiotics???/ Thoughts on ERs.

[Guest guest]

Thank you, everyone, for your support and your suggestions. My instinct is to

fast and rest

completely, and I did for two days, but then responsibilities of daily life came

into the

picture, so I'm drinking juices now too, enough to give me strength to

accomplish what I

want to accomplish during the day. I was in considerable pain the first two

days, but since

then I have been healing very comfortably!

 

Although the ER people drove me nuts with their drug pushing, and Ensure

protein-shake

pushing, etc, I must say, I am extremely grateful to live in a country where

Emergency

Response is effective (relatively--I mean I might have had a deformed chin for

the rest of

my life: there's no way my body would have pulled the bones back together as

they were

and healed them naturally in their correct place) and prompt and available to

everyone. In

many countries, if you want emergency treatment anywhere near promptly, you have

to

slip large bills into the nurses' pockets.

 

It's so strange to encounter unprompted aggression in a fellow human. I imagine

many of

you, like me, are proponents of peace, love, and compassion. It's easy to

forget, if we are

surrounded by like-minded people, or even just not bothered by the others, just

how

much pain and anger and desire to harm does still go around among humans. The

poor

man who hit me--does he relive images of my pained face spitting blood, hear my

cry for

help as he tosses and turns at night? If it doesn't eat at him yet, it probably

will eventually.

And guilt, I am quite certain, is the most destructive of human emotions. I was

half his

size, and then I didn't even have any money in my purse!

 

Now when I walk the streets I cannot ignore the people so bent around by

emotional pain,

drugs, food-drugs (fast food), poverty, and a system they can't make work for

them--I can

almost understand how easy it would be for them to choose violence and crime.

 

Is there anything we as individuals can do for these people?

I think you have already done what needed to be done,

by being calm, by not fighting back with anger and

resentment, as it almost seems you have been able to

forgive this man for the crime he has committed

against you. Maybe in some corner of his mind ( and

the people you touched in the ER as well) he might be

thinking there HAS to be a better way of living

(life). We are all gifts, it is how we accept

ourselves and others, that we become the gift that

keeps giving.

 

Thank you Storm, for sharing your experience. I am so

sorry that you have had to deal with the pain of what

this person has done. It sounds like you have decided

to travel a different path in accepting what has

happened to you and to continue to live your life,

both physically and mentally on a level most people

would never travel. You have taught me a vauable life

lesson!

 

Sincerely,

 

Natalie

Some might say that it is not violence that is chosen, but

an overwhelming urge to satisfy a basic human need that is

followed.

 

Others might say that there is no choice at all, just as you

did not choose to be a victim of violence, but it is what

comes together at that point of time with those particular

circumstances. It is just What Is.

Do you know for sure that whatever they are presently

experiencing isn't exactly right or appropriate for them as

it happens?
