I think you are right to a large extent. What they did was so in-your-face, it was a defining case for the world to see. Maybe it could have happened elsewhere.
If only it were the compassionate care you must have experienced, but it was not.
I don't have anything against Clearwater as such, just the unpleasant beings I encountered there.
Also, I witnessed some rotten things in France, which never would get reported, too.
I think we get sensitized to a particular place when we hear so much about it...because my husbands aunt and uncle received such good care, and had such great doctors, that was all I really knew about the Clearwater area....both the aunt and uncle had serious medical problems, very serious problems, and in spite of their advanced age and serious medical problems, they have always had wonderful doctors, who did everything for them, and for that my husband and I were so very grateful...we live in Washington state and they live in Florida...now it is just the uncle...and he has no children...so he looks upon my husband as his son, and the one to exercise his medical rights, should the uncle not be able to speak for himself...so I would hope, ,that if and when that time comes, that my husband will find doctors willing to help his uncle with whatever medical help he needs...
