(15,859 posts)I only *wish* there had been any of that! lol. You know, its like with anything. Im sure there are some who pose as homeless to take advantage of kind people. But I can tell you with 100% certainty that those are a vast-super-mega-minority. And you know what? I'd rather take the chance of accidentally giving a dollar or two to a person who drives a volvo than miss the opportunity to help someone who really, really needs it.
I don't think people really understand the level of cruelty in humanity until one is in a position to be at its mercy.
Ive only recently experienced the cold "compassion" of the healthcare industry. What Ive found is that the more power or money a person has... the less they seem to give a shit. Ive met some wonderful people in the 'assistant' category. Sometimes working in the office or nursing or physical therapy. But those will the *real* power... not so much. Don't have health insurance? Not critical? Check ya later! Yeah. Thats an entirely different rant. lol
You work in the healthcare field... Im willing to bet you *do* have my strength. I could never do it!
