My mother-in-law knew a doctor’s wife who was in a coma for awhile, heard everything that was said in her presence. Including, the “nick names” they used instead of real names for the patients they considered vegetables: carrot, celery, etc. It was a horrible way to treat people.
Men and women created in the image of God, and called “vegetables” as though they weren’t. Horrible indeed.
Such dehumanizing names make it easier to dismiss, ignore, mistreat, and even kill them. All thanks to “modern medicine”.
I’m friends of and related to several nurses. Unfortunately, they can become quite jaded. Not all, but some.
