Very Bad Trip
The decision to enter rehabilitation reflects a commitment to returning to one's family. The goal is not to leave in a worse condition than upon arrival. Nevertheless, it seems there are exceptions, particularly for individuals in the sex work industry.
The circumstances surrounding Emily Willis have sparked a profound sense of anger and injustice. Due to negligence, this young woman, who had previously collapsed in a facility room, remained unconscious for an excessive duration. A nurse passing by found her unresponsive and no one knows how long Emily Willis had been unconscious. After undergoing emergency cardiac resuscitation, Emily now finds herself in a nearly vegetative state. While her heart has restarted, it is functioning at a critically low level. Her only form of communication is through her eye movements. It is essential to recognize that medical staff are often overburdened, yet in this instance, she should have been transferred to a facility capable of providing adequate care. Additionally, rehabilitation is not without its financial implications, and this center had no qualms about accepting her payment.
Rebirth As a Vegetable
We are cautioned against following so-called gurus who propose to mend our inner turmoil through inappropriate means. While this warning is valid, it is equally important to assert that if an individual wishes to break free from an addiction or a harmful habit, they deserve more humane treatment than a lobotomy. The cynical perspective of those who claim that drug use places individuals in a similar mental state is also disheartening. If you can't find refuge anywhere, nowhere becomes a refuge. It is essential to recognize that anyone can succumb to difficulties, especially in a world that is becoming more authoritarian which imposes an increasingly frantic pace on you, hospitals should be the last bastion of humanity.
If you want to rehab, take a trip and drink Ayahuasca. Or South African Ubulawu. It seems safer.
