Yeah, not a good strategy. They did send a few people. security, patient complaint person, unit manager.
It didn't achieve much in the end. But hopelessness can result in desperate behaviour.
That's why when I tell you to hang on, I know it is not an easy task, and that the words don't do justice to what is required everyday to do that.
But you don't have any other acceptable option. Bowing out is not who you are. I read that post regarding desperate acts, so I remember that you learned that you have no choice but to continue to get up and keep going.
The doctor does have the say in whether or not you are referred for surgery.
Don't let their perception of whether or not you can afford treatment sway their decision, fundraising can follow when you know what is required. Get the referrals completed and the assessments done.
