For a book in progress, I am seeking the stories of those like me who have been abused in hospital emergency rooms due in some way to the disease of addiction, addiction the medical industry itself labels a disease so long as that label is profitable.
I need your help, your honest accounts of every incident of ER mistreatment, whether verbal, physical, emotional, the refusal of treatment, unnecessary and pointless delays, etc. You may download and complete the questionnaire from Scribd (it's simple and mainly asks for your experiences). You may also read more about this nonprofit project and download the questionairre from the website Do Harm First. You may email me any questions or concerns via [email protected].
This is not a scientific study but rather a preliminary attempt to obtain accounts of emergency room abuse, allowing me to judge whether I will receive enough cooperation from those with the disease of addiction to pursue the project further.
Maltreatment of those suffering from addiction by ER staffs has become an epidemic acceptable to and even promoted by the medical industry. The result is PTSD, emotional and physical damage, and in some cases death. It has been decided those who suffer addiction will be punished in the last place to which they can turn for help. The implications of these facts are obvious to most members of this group. It is another obvious means of control and a path to further tyranny. It also bears, without exaggeration, analogy to Nazi euthanasia of drug addicts. It is vital to make the public aware of the realities of this policy, which sound rational when explained in sound bytes but are something else entirely in the reality of a crisis met by sadistic abuse.
You may provide your name to and sign the questionnaire or not. Either way, your name will not be released to anyone, anything, in any way, period. Should you provide your name, I may include your story in the book under a fictitious name. If you do not provide your name, your information is still valuable and will contribute to the writing of the book, but your story will not be included in the book.
Due to the nature of this project, no renumeration of any kind is offered for completing and submitting the questionnaire, and the same applies should your story be used in the book. The main purpose for this is to maintain the integrity of the stories offered in any future book. More personally, should this project prove possible for me to pursue, I will most assuredly lose money. Finally, if I do earn any profits, some portion of them will be distributed to various nonprofit addiction services that I deem worthwhile and which maintain a shred of integrity and lack of propagandizing.
Thank you.
