NURSING AND EDUCATION PLATFORM

Chan (2013) uncle killes nephew age 3 for wetting bed. This says so much. If we cannot get this right in society, what hope is there for nursing? Yes we know there are other factors (not excuses) eg what is acceptable to some and not others, attitude etc. Many today are unable to accept "bed wetting" in care or whatever, from any age. Picture the old refined, lady called "dirty" for being incontinent. Yet these people are educated- they know the cause could be phsyiological or psychological eg epilepsy or anxiety.

The issue seems to be "me, myself and I". "I now have to change the sheets etc"- help somebpdy else but do it with pride. that must be the motto for the whole of society. The issue is the way society is shoved-- get job, make money,promotion, neoliberalism, look after self-- it overrides any form of compassion.

I hope this uncle is never released and the nephew, Daniel,  is never forgotten. I know I will not forget him.
