I am sick and tired of people constantly blaming the ills of the world on alcoholics and drug addicts. we are all entitled to health care and lets face it, you may be out of work and need help yourself one day, the fact of the matter is doctors are only human and therefore make mistakes like everyone else. the other factor is pressure as spoken of above, I worked as a care assistant in the community and the private homes and the wages were a pittance the work was only appreciated by the residents, a lot of the families came in for flying visits and expected miracles while you had been on your feet for ten or more then get verbally abused. until you work in health care youdonot realise just how hard and stressful it all is. yes everyone wants thebest care for themselves and their families but you cannot keep blaming the vulnerable they are notyour doctors and did anyone ever stop to think, not every alcoholic smokes, do you? if you are going to cast blame atleast cast in the right direction , compassion goes a long way , not all people in for a sick note are out of work on a permanent basis, maybe you should try and open your mind a wee bit and then you wont feel as bitter towards everyone else.
