Today I went to the cancer clinic and by accident I noticed that the flyer I brought there is removed. So I asked someone why it was removed. And they said possibly because you have to ask a special person in a certain department permission to have the poster there, otherwise everyone will be putting up posters and the walls would be covered.
I was so angry. The bull shit red tape.
I said there is NO women’s breast cancer support group in the area would they not think this was important enough. .
I said the hospital instead of spending money on 2 kiosks that I don’t see used could have been to better use for things exactly like this.
How can we join together as people? How can we build a community of compassion when people are making decisions on how walls are to look good for people coming in to the cancer center?
Because there are all kinds of cancer there she said it would be too much paper on the walls.
She did give me a name and number to call.
I have already spoke to the person in charge for patient supportive care and she pointed out that a decision had been made that no support groups were to be held at the cancer clinic, when I wanted to start a women's breast cancer support group there.
How are we acting as human beings towards each other? I am discussed and appalled at how we are being treated.
I pray for those people making decisions that they have compassion and somehow recognize we need to build a community of compassion NOW for a better tomorrow.
Building a community of compassion
