Coersion
Currently I am dependant on my medication and my psychiatrist's intellect. Despite my deep concern with medical practices in the field of mental illness I still continue to follow any given advice. So far my doctors have proven that when I am off my medication my behavior is deeply affected. I will give them that. But, there are still questionable practices. I have been told numerous times not to read my Bible when I am sick. I have been told to find my inner peace instead of thinking of spiritual issues. I have been told that my faith can't control every facet of my life. If my doctors were brave enough they would verbally profess that my faith is a symptom of my illness. Actually, they have told me that. But, to be brave I think they would tell others close to me. They don't. They keep a low profile, but they still testify that my spirituality is a negative factor in my life. In this clip Thomas Sazas confronts the illness doctors considered slaves to have. This was a real diagnosis! Recently, I have interested myself in the study of Thomas Sazaz and others like him. Very, very interesting reading. I think Thomas is paving the way for a revolutionary understanding of mental illness and the billion-dollar industry we call help. I must admit, as I am more and more fearful that I will not receive Medicade I have to face this truth. I was completely unwilling to go to the hospital. I fought anyone who said I needed to take my medicine and go to the hospital. Despite my fighting I may end up having to pay for numerous hospital visits that add up to thousands of dollars. If this were true of everyone the medical field has an extremely scary power. They can force anyone to be treated, against their will, and still have the right to ask for payment. Does anyone else see the inevitable trap? How would you like it if someone had the authority to force you to take an action that cost you thousands even though you had no desire to do it? Is this fair? My life is completely dependant on a system that tells me to turn my back on God. My life has been destroyed by a system that is supposed to cure me. Don’t take my word for it. Read! Educate yourself on the practices of early forms of treatment. Institutions did horrible things and we the nation never repented for it. We just consider that a doctor should silence the small voice of the ill because he has a degree.
