Sometimes I read what I write and I think it's funny.
I think it is funny that I wrote it. That I was the one that came up with that. Although writing can be quite cathartic and therapeutic in it's own rite, often it's a symptom or a response to symptoms.
And sometimes I think that artistry that can only be obtained by a mind that has meandered into mania is really funny.
Mastered and managed, it can be so beautiful.

Beliefs in a higher power and a higher purpose can sustain us in hard times and through hard things. It can also help direct and redirect us.
I believe that we will all eventually be held accountable for what we do here and how we treat others.
And I believe you, Nelson and Naegle and those you claim to defend namely IHC, will eventually be held accountable for what you are doing to people.
I pity you for the depths of hell you have caused and defended to be caused to others that you will someday yourselves have to endure... Only then will you understand the depths of your own deceptions and the harmful impact you have and uphold; the hell you keep others in -as you milk or allow to be milked medical malpractice insurance policies while wrongly accusing and allowing others to be blamed for the ever increasing premiums that you and your kind are actually causing.
When you are there, experiencing the depths of the hell you have created for me
-that in this life you wish for me to die in-
I am certain you will call out begging for my forgiveness, begging me to allow you to be released from this hell - this hell you have created for yourself that is the hell I will have already endured because of you.
But I will not be able to release any of you from it, justice won't allow it. And
I am not the god that put you there.
You are.
So you will not escape until you have endured the full extent of it, the extent of your own creation.
and I am sorry for you because you have no idea what you are in for. Your willful ignorance prevents it and you will not know how to endure it. I can only forewarn you that the mania you have denied, the mania that your allowing to be denied, that you have lied about while you prey on me for it, THAT is the hell you will endure
and it is infinite.
I am sorry for you now so I will not have to hear when you keep crying out for mercy and I cannot help you because it only ends when justice is served and
Even if I am successful at stopping the hell you are causing to me, even if I prevail, on my own, however that looks, if you play no part in putting a stop to and the ending of that hell that you persist with, you will have no end to Your Creation and contributions to the hell you must endure. A hell that will ripple the ponds of justice, society, and our healthcare and governing institutions well beyond your years of practice and well beyond the silencing of me.
The equivalent. You will endure the equivalent of your creations, that cannot be ended by my victories or my silence.
You are the gods.
and Justice will not allow it.
So when do you make it stop. When do you decide you'd rather not obligate yourself to endure the hells and levels of hell you create? When do you, Intermountain Healthcare IHC stop condemning patients to death or living hells in order to conceal your negligence and avoid accountability here, in this life? Accountability that in this life is so small, so simple and takes far fewer resources and less effort than the resources and efforts you dump into creating and perpetuating hell for me. Accountability that will cause you no harm but saves lives and posses so much potential for improvements to medicine and humanity.
You alone have the power to put an end to this hell. Because you are the Gods who created and sustain it.
Will you?
It's been surprising how few people, and especially those whose job it is to know and tell the truth, have avoided in entirety attempting to learn the truth. You would think they would want to talk to me, that they'd ask the questions that will provide the truth. You would think they would want me to know the truth that they can provide.
But unfortunately, I am learning, most people would rather stay blissfully ignorant than know the truth.
Yet blissful ignorance is a treacherous illusion that gnaws at a person's core and rots them from the inside out.
All the research in the world is worthless if it is not put into action.
The research, what are you doing with it?
Dear PhD researchers and healthcare providers,
You need the patients. You need the voices and experience from the other side of your work.
Helen Keller is credited with saying, "Alone we can do so little, but together we can do so much."
Really, alone we can do a whole lot but it accomplishes so little if we do not work together.
We are the other side that validates the work you do and your work validates us. We can, and many of us want to, help you improve the application of it. But if you ignore and invalidate us you invalidate all that you have worked so long and hard on.
Please stop excluding us. Please stop excluding us from involvement and input in and on the work you do and how it is implemented. Please do not confuse the countertransference you might experience with those of us whose life experiences validate your lives work and please do not vilify us for your countertransference confusion. Please, instead, recognize it to be the intuitive prompting that it is and that is trying to tell you of our value to you and your work.
And please do not allow the irrational fear that our value to your lives work may somehow outshine your own value to prevent us all from obtaining the "so much" we could achieve together.
We are not your enemy. We are your other half.
And we are better together.
Sincerely,
Your patients and test groups
I thought it funny when I heard the late radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh* say that he worked with half his brain tied behind his back in order to keep things fair. I find this catch phrase of his popping into my brain as I write this because, after all, we TBI survivors are doing it all now with half our brains tied behind our backs. So if we validate research in ways that could improve diagnosis and care for others and we have figured out on our own, without any of the academic and professional backing, funds and support researchers and our healthcare providers have, we probable deserve some credit for it.
