Disciple of Prayer
I am asking for prayers for my physical health and for justice. I am currently in a very vulnerable state with a condition that causes weakness and oxygen-starvation in my brain as well as seizure activity. I went to the ER seeking help but instead found a culture that felt like a toxic 'high school clique' where staff prioritized fitting-in and feeding their own egos over patient safety.
I witnessed this abuse of power firsthand when a doctor and nurse ganged up on a wounded homeless man. They scolded and belittled him for asking for a glass of water, goading each other on in a 'them vs. us' mentality. It wasn't just a brief one-off; it was a barrage of continuous beratement. Even thinking about it now makes me nauseous and wince in pain. It was incredibly painful to watch them derive satisfaction from lording their authority over someone so vulnerable.
That same clique-like collusion was then turned on me. Instead of looking out for a patient, they just fed off each other’s dismissive attitude to write off my crisis. Despite objective evidence of high inflammation on my labs, they recorded my results as completely 'normal' and coerced an unsafe discharge while I was in acute neurological distress. Even when I insisted that I felt too unwell to function properly and was worried for my welfare, the doctor became aggressive and hostile to which, already in pain and physical distress, I didn't have the capacity to continue advocating for myself. They cared more about their own bond and ego over medical accuracy and left me in a significantly worse state than when I arrived. I am sure I'm not the only one as several other patients were trying to speak up for themselves to no avail.
Please pray for:
Physical Safety: That my strength recovers and my brain and wellbeing returns to healthy normal functioning.
Justice: That the truth would come to light about the callous and harmful way I and others were treated. It felt like my spirit was being wounded while my body was in crisis. Pray that this abuse of power is exposed so no one else has to endure cruelty when they are seeking help.
Integrity: That as I seek a second opinion, I’m led to doctors who actually have heart and value human dignity over their own power.
Thank you for your help. I am trusting that the Lord stands by the cause of the afflicted and executes justice for the needy.
