If physical diseases were treated like mental illness…
To a person sick in bed: “I get that you have food poising and all, but you have to at least make an effort.”
To a woman whose hand is cut off: “You just need to change your frame of mind. Then you’ll feel better.”
To a woman vomiting: “Have you tried… you know… not having the flu?”
To a man injecting himself with insulin: “I don’t think it’s healthy that you have to take medication every day just to feel normal. Don’t you worry that it’s changing you from who you really are?”
To a man with serious abdomen wound: “It’s like you’re not even trying.”
To a person lying in a hospital bed: “Well, lying in bed obviously isn’t helping you. You need to try something else.”
