Let's say you were in this situation...
You were in an accident and was sent to a hospital. You thank the people who brought you to the hospital. You don't want to bother your friends and family (you don't want them to come and visit you). You were hoping to tell them not to come after they come and visit the first time, but you then realize they didn't come at all. Would you be mad?
Ditto from Australia even though our present "liberal" government is trying to dismantle the health care system for low income people.
The system here is far from perfect, but definitely better than in the US, which isn't hard to do. I don't understand how the most powerful and surely the richest country in the world can't look after its most vulnerable citizens
If i landed myself in the hospital I would hate it if my family saw me in that state. I have this thing where i have to be seen in decent condition. I don't trust anyone enough to see me cry, have a panic attack, throw up or see me laying down with a breathing tube in my nose. I would be so mad at myself for getting in that situation. I am seen as a follower but I lead. The people I am around don't know it. they think they make the calls. no, thats me. I decide which hall we take to class, i decide if we change lunch tables, i decide if we go to to things. they just simply ask me and we go with my answer :/ I am a backseat driver in life. I need to never loose my image.
Even if I didn't want them there, it would be nice if they bothered to show up. Although, considering the way my parents usually are when that kind of thing happens, it would take a LOT to keep them from coming and I'd be more worried about what's going on than whether they cared.
This is something that I've often stopped to ponder. I would prefer if they didn't know and wouldn't come. I don't like the majority of them and I don't want to be bothered by them. If the whole lot of them came it would turn into a pathetic and sappy event where religion would no doubt be brought up. If they did show up, I probably call for security. Sure, a part of me might be lonely, but I could always hope that someone I did like came to visit me.
