Dignity

Why are people so uncaring? Treating us like we have no feelings. When all that's wrong is that we have a disability.

I've seen it over and over again, not just with myself but, with those in others care.

How can caretakers be so unfeeling? Do they not realize that we are people too?

Why can't they put themselves in their patients position?

Would they want left soiled until they had a skin condition? Would they want ignored when crying out for a friend? Would they want their butt exposed from today until the end?

I Do Not Think So!

They really need to take a look at themselves. And just for one day put them selves in our place

I believe they would say "Give Me Some Dignity!"
