Comments about Xiaxue's blog...

Since Briony had did something to the names for our Blog Link, I decided to do the same. Hahaha. (Briony and Cinthia! Scroll down and see what I had done!)

I have just read Xiaxue's blog about the use of toilets for the disabled and was pretty put off by the way she put down the disabled.

As a nurse, our sole duty is to assist patients to get back to normal life as much as possible and educate them to adjust to their new situation and help themselves. However, we have to be aware that disabled patient's no longer can live their life as a normal person do. Frustration is natural if you think about the extra work they have to put in just to get out of bed and move around on a wheel chair.

And now, someone insensitive and selfish like Xiaxue have to ridicule them by saying that their disability is just like "a broken leg", disablitly not = "small bladder"? Even the fact she's angry or annoyed, the use of such terms are so demeaning, it directly insults the disabled.

In case you're are not aware, many disabled people, especially those who had an amputation done on their legs, had their legs amputated mostly due to complications of Diabetics. Diabetic patients DO have problem holding their bladder!

Should we as a people allow such behaviour to go unchecked?
