My heart breaks for you and your good intentions...you are definitely one of the "good ones"...we certainly needed more like you...and I agree that veterans and the elderly are the most neglected (unless you are very rich).
You hit the nail on the head with..."my biggest frustration at times was dealing with the patients themselves and their indoctrination of dependence upon someone else for their well being"...that actually being the main gist of my point all along...
I feel ALL your frustrations...those are the very things that pushed me into alternative healthcare at the ripe old age of 20. I was only 24 when my sister first flipped out...schizophrenia...but I found Dr. Abram Hoffer and Orthomlecular Psychiatry, which saved her life. It is all a process and I have been learning for over 50 years.
My daughter who was a social worker for hospice for over 10 years had a breakdown last October and is currently in rehab after drinking on the job and being involved in a head on collision...many jobs have such a high stress level and do not have adequate support...at least you didn't end up like that...it is ALL messed up.
I have at least 15...maybe 20 healing modalities and there is nothing I love to do more than educate people. I would love to share any books or resources I have that you may be interested in...some things are very easy...some harder...but ALL learnable...
We are on the same side...my battle has always been for me and my family...I had home births...no drugs...didn't circumsize...didn't vaccinate...used my kids as guinea pigs for natural healing modalities...home schooled etc. You get the picture...we both have fought all the corrupt broken systems in our own way and we are on the same side...
It was truly wonderful to meet you and chat...we could have some great discussions I am sure...again...I love to share natural healing information...if you are ever interested...there are some really intelligent people on GAW, also...
God richly bless you and yours...
