7. Thank YOU for sharing your story

csziggy, I hear what you're saying about your experience and your struggles just to get your pain meds because of understaffing of nurses. Scary things go on behind closed doors in healthcare facilities every single day. Sometimes beyond belief. That's why I wrote my novel about happenings inside a children's hospital -- to get information out about the corruption in some of America's hospitals, where patients die at the convenience of the 1% (like the-candidate-who-shall-not-be-named), while they line their pockets, get tax breaks, and stash their cash in faraway banks. Hopefully, the movie adaptation of the book goes to production soon so the public can see how their lives come and go with the toss of the dice like a game of Monopoly.

Barbara Kingsolver says that the message of social injustices is often more believable when put into a fiction context. I agree. My fiction comes from real life.

The dot connection between Romney and the horrifically tainted meds leading to 29 already dead is another example of how the rich are getting away with murder.

Good luck to the California nurses and their patients. We'll be watching this one closely.

Paxton (who is a Comfort Therapist for children of trauma) sends happy tail-wags to you and all patients who have suffered from at-risk care.
