Argue

 

I do remember arguing. Family members. Providers. Hospitals. Arguing. Arguing over my care. 

Strange thing to argue about.

Atlanta said No.

Massachusetts took the Clozaril and ran with it.

Charleston and Anderson chipped in some rTMS.

Memorial went all in with VNS.

Bystander Effect In Psychology

The bystander effect is the name for when someone is in danger and there are witnesses that do not intervene. factors in this phenonyma include diffusion of responsibility and the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways.

 Kitty Genovese was murdered in Queens, New York, in 1964 while several of her neighbors looked on. No one intervened until it was too late.

Latané and Darley (1970) Five step decision making process:

1. Notice the event and act (or are in a hurry and not notice).
2. Interpret the situation as an emergency and act (or assume that as others are not acting, it is not an emergency).
3. Assume responsibility and act (or assume that others will do this).
4. Know what to do (or not have the skills necessary to help).
5. Decide to help (or worry about danger, legislation, embarrassment, etc.).

    Evaluation apprehension (fear of being publically judged);

    Pluralistic ignorance (the tendency to rely on the overt reactions of others when defining an ambiguous situation).

    Diffusion of responsibility refers to the tendency to subjectively divide personal responsibility to help by the number of bystanders present. Bystanders are less likely to intervene in emergency situations as the size of the group increases, and they feel less personal responsibility.

    The bystander effect can cause someone to hesitate and refrain from taking action or offering help in a situation, assuming that others will step in or feeling less responsible when they see others present.

    Bystander effect refers to the tendency for people to be fail to act in high-danger situations due to the presence of other bystanders. Thus, people tend to help more when alone than in a group.

Kitty Genovese

    On the morning of March 13, 1964, Kitty Genovese returned to her apartment complex, at 3 am, after finishing her shift at a local bar.

    After parking her car in a lot adjacent to her apartment building, she began walking a short distance to the entrance, which was located at the back of the building.

    As she walked, she noticed a figure at the far end of the lot. She shifted directions and headed towards a different street, but the man followed and seized her.

    As she yelled, neighbors from the apartment building went to the window and watched as he stabbed her. A man from the apartment building yelled down, “Let that girl alone!”

    Following this, the assailant appeared to have left, but once the lights from the apartments turned off, the perpetrator returned and stabbed Kitty Genovese again. Once again, the lights came on, and the windows opened, driving the assaulter away from the scene.

    Unfortunately, the assailant returned and stabbed Catherine Genovese for the final time. The first call to the police came in at 3:50 am, and the police arrived in two minutes.

"Another head hangs lowly

Child is slowly taken

And the violence caused such silence

Who are we mistaken?"

But you see it's not we
It's not MY... prismaly
In my head, tears are shed
They are FIGHTING
With their PILLS and their PADS
And look now, we're depressed!
With our meds, With our meds
They are cryin'

In ERs, ICUs...
Can you see... ??
What's in your meds??? in your meds???
Zombies?

Another brother breakin'
Docs are taking over
When the violence causes SILENCE
We must be mistaken.

It's the same ICU
Since I last came to you.
In my head, hospital beds
They're still fightin'!
With their pills and their tests
And their ECTs, less and less

They are TRYIN'

In my head... hospital beds
Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie, hey, hey, hey
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, oh, ya, ya-a

 

25 years since that first coma in the ICU.

Enmeshment, in a psychological context, refers to a blurring of boundaries between people, often family members, leading to over-dependence and a lack of individuality. This can result in difficulties with autonomy and independence, impacting family dynamics and relationships. 

Key aspects of enmeshment:

Blurred Boundaries:

Enmeshed relationships lack clear personal boundaries, making it difficult for individuals to distinguish their own needs, feelings, and boundaries from those of others. 

Over-involvement:

Family members become overly involved in each other's lives, often to the detriment of their own autonomy and personal development. 

Lack of Autonomy:

Enmeshment can lead to a loss of individual identity and the inability to make independent decisions or pursue personal interests. 

Over-dependence:

Individuals in enmeshed relationships may become overly dependent on others for emotional support, validation, or guidance. 

Examples:

A parent who constantly interferes with their child's decisions, a child who feels they must always make their parents happy, or family members who feel responsible for each other's happiness and well-being
