Yesterday, when they told Tree that they were going to give her magnesium sulphate, Tree said that they should make anyone who administers the drug have to take it first to know what it feels like. I think that is a great idea - especially if the nurse or doctor doesn't show any empathy.
Maybe they should be monitored and reviewed and if they show empathy and genuine concern for the people they care for, then they don't have to, but if they treat the patients like a mass of tissue in a petri dish, then they have to be subjected to a series of procedures to keep them in touch with how the recipient feels.
And let's throw some tact classes in there too. For instance, don't tell a woman who is about to have a baby 10 weeeks prematurely that her doctor could have given her a medication that would have probably kept her from going early, but it would be absolutely no help now. Sounds like your advice - absolutely no help now, so why bring it up. Maybe she thought Tree didn't feel miserable enough yet.
