The hierarchical Pyramid...

From : http://www.deviantart.com/
The hierarchical pyramid is not seen, but it can be felt on air and seen in the expressions of those who walk the hallways of that orthopedics wards...
It is assumed that there is a multidisciplinary team to deal with all those cases, with all of those people hospitalized for an indefinite period... But reality, does not match the assumptions, and all you usually think, only happens in TV series or movies... Everything that I tell, write or quote is the honest truth!
The reality that I face day by day is something that makes me think ... And what the hell is that I see after all?!? Well, even to describe it is not easy...
I see a whole bunch of people whose white lab coats or uniforms gives them a status, power, many responsibilities...  However, the responsibility is like a hot potato when something happens (more or less) badly... And when things go really badly, it's the silence that reigns in the medical or nursing staff...
It is indeed astonishing, the interaction between doctors, nurses and assistants...dialogue is not the most common or the most used, to actually understand someone you need to go further...is not enough to hear, is not enough to talk, you must read! Read what tell us the eyes, the wrinkles and expressions, the body and the way how they walk, the hands and even how they breathe...
Between schedules, ridiculous routines, and for coffee breaks, the patient is no more than a mere pawn in this game...His health does not really matter, in fact what matters is achieving the objectives, or in other words, discharge...
These people dressed in white doesn`t have my respect...doesn`t have my consideration ... there are all sorts of people with many different personalities as everywhere, but even the good people are beginning to succumb to the monotony and routine of their own acts!
As intern, I face demands and disbelieving looks, works foisted by nurses frustrated by their own operating systems and actions! I want to throw everything into the air ... Scream ... answer to those frustrated women who consider themselves more than other people!
I wonder what would happen if I did that, is really hilarious to imagine it! I imagine the face of offended of the nurses and my happy face...I imagine myself turning my back to them while they grumble and I laugh without hearing them! lol
It really is hilarious in my mind, but is something I do not do because I still have some sanity and a goal in mind ...
Has already missed much more for my sanity succumb in that place, because my desire still is to see the hour runing, so I can get out of there and retrieve what I missed or left to live out of there! My life stops there, my heart beats to 1000, but not because I am living, but because I feel the suffer and agony of that space to invading every cell of my being, suffocating what's left of life in me...
