In The Netherlands we had this row a couple of years ago when some ‘famous’ Dutch TV-person got diagnosed with breast-cancer and she went to a ‘medium’ (i.e. a psychic healer) to cure her, in stead of letting a real doctor lead the cure-process.
Anyways, this medium had a leading role and advised the doctors that the person did see.
Now, 5 years later, these doctors are being blamed for not acting according to some so-called ‘professional guidelines’ which lead to the person’s death.
Excuse me?
This means that I, if I get sick, may not choose the healing process I must succumb to? In other words: it’s by the professional guidelines thy will be processed or thy will not be processed at all?
I believe that if I say to the doctor: “Yeh, well sod the guidelines”, it is my liberty to do so, no?
If I then die, it is my own fault, now isn’t it?
All this shit isn’t going to bring her back and isn’t going to take away any pain or hurt. And no — it is not going to close a ‘chapter’ either.
If you really loved a person you will never get over it — so get over that and get on with your own life in stead of speculating how others’ life may have been if they were still here…
