As someone who was very badly affected by the Australian medical system, let me just say that what happens to you in the system will almost certainly traumatize you as much as the event that led up to it.
It's very easy for someone to say otherwise, unless they have experienced it first hand. Have you?

- chris_wot 5y agoSomewhat ironically, the person I spoke to actually calmed me down enough to allow me to go and call on a friend. By the time the authorities arrived I was in a much better state. All they did was waste resources and reintroduce my negative thoughts. I called them to be anonymous and not disturb my family, so I could get into a calmer state where I could get help from my loved ones. They utterly failed.
