As someone who has been put through a grilling with medical records being accessed by media, I would love some contemplation on what policy really matters. I do not agree with the chasing of politicians (on either side) about a rehab they went to, or surgery they had in their 20's. Yet this freely happens all of the time. On the other side of the coin, I cannot actually get any medical status privately about my own brother and consult with his social worker to try to undo years of damage my sister did telling him he did not need help because we are caught in the most vicious cycle in Texas of them all. I as a non-skilled caretaker for his needs would need to assume "full liability" for anything he does if I care enough to want him to heal or for us to heal. He has been mistreated for a very long time.
What are the rules here? Some that need to change I reckon. Instead of vigilantes accessing medical history that is irrelevant to skewer people, when is private negotiation possible for people who cannot help themselves that you want to be part of the solution for?
We really need a deep introspection on records management in this country and how we treat one another.
I have had some nut chasing me about media assessments, instead of helping solve actual problems. In fact they made them worse.
I have picked him to consider this. While many politicians are absolutely skewered for rehab or health care, he is in such a senior position to help. It is amazing that news agencies are able to collect more information than an actual family needing to help a sibling in some way and trying to figure it out.
