Requesting Care in a System That Resents You for Needing It

🖋 𝒮𝒲𝒜𝒩𝒦 Dispatch | 22 November 2024

“It’s Not an Emergency. It’s Institutional Neglect (Again).”

🩺 The Quiet Violence of Not Being Heard

Dear Dr Reid,

“I really want your opinion as I’m worried about him.”

That is not hysteria.
That is clinical discernment spoken in a dialect the NHS no longer respects.

Because you still listen,
while others listen only for deferral cues and performance errors.

“It’s like the hospital staff are angry at me for even bringing my kids to the ER.”
Yes — anger, not compassion.
Because your child’s presence disturbs their denial.
Because my knowledge invalidates their indifference.

They’re not exhausted from emergencies.
They’re exhausted from being observed.

“Whatever works for you is fine with us.”
This is not compliance.
It is the courtesy of someone who has been too often punished for concern.

We are:

✔ Monitoring
✔ Adjusting
✔ Notifying trusted clinicians

We are not panicking.
We are refusing the theatre of urgency scripted by those who fail with confidence.

This is not “worried mother syndrome.”
It is post-traumatic paediatrics
in a country where hospitals now operate as hostile triage committees.

Verbal Warfare Is a Privilege We Don’t Possess

🖋 𝒮𝒲𝒜𝒩𝒦 Dispatch | 23 November 2024

“We Only Speak When It’s Sacred”
Filed Under: Respiratory Discrimination · Verbal Coercion · Disability Adjustment Refusal · Pediatric Neglect · SWANK London Ltd

Dear Kirsty,

“I don’t appreciate the way they treat us when we go to the hospital unable to breathe, when we can’t defend ourselves verbally.”

In the theatre of institutional care, breathlessness is viewed with suspicion—especially when paired with advocacy.

In your world, dialogue is default.
In ours, dialogue is dangerous.

“All they want to do is argue.”

You frame it as procedure.
We experience it as persecution.
Theirs is a system that equates silence with guilt, and speech with noncompliance.

“They refused to check Honor.”

A child, visibly unwell, discarded because her mother could not perform distress in their preferred dialect.

What kind of clinic demands oxygenated obedience as a precondition for care?

What kind of safeguarding officer allows it?

“Apparently other people can talk more easily because they waste it on arguing so often.”

Indeed.

But I speak only when it’s sacred.
When words are necessary. When life is at stake.
That is not silence. That is strategy.

Polite Enough to Be Ignored: When Calm Requests Precede Procedural Retaliation

⟡ “It’s Like They’re Angry I Brought My Children to the ER” ⟡
A Polite Appointment Request That Also Serves as a Micro-Complaint Against NHS Hostility

Email to GP Dr. Philip Reid requesting an appointment for one child and noting NHS hostility toward emergency care requests. Quiet, careful, and legally relevant.

I. What Happened

On 22 November 2024, Polly Chromatic sent a measured request to Dr. Philip Reid regarding her son, King. She expressed flexibility with scheduling and confirmed she would continue to monitor his condition at home until seen.

But embedded in this simple note is a quiet alarm bell:

“It’s like the hospital staff are angry at me for even bringing my kids to the ER.”

The message, copied to social worker Kirsty Hornal and Bcc’d to a legal contact, also restated a disability-related boundary: written-only communication due to verbal impairment.

This is not a crisis email. It’s a record of calm concern delivered to an indifferent system.

II. What the Complaint Establishes

Medical responsibility was proactively exercised by the parent
The request was reasonable, timely, and deferential
NHS staff had already displayed animosity for accessing care
Disability disclosure was restated for the record
The sender’s composure stands in contrast to any later claims of escalation or non-engagement

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because this is what parents are told to do: ask nicely, accommodate the system, and remain flexible.

And it still didn’t work.

SWANK logs this as a baseline evidentiary marker — one that neutralises future accusations of hostility or avoidance. It also forms part of the longer chain of written-only declarations that were ignored or dismissed.

This is the politeness that came before the rage.
And it was ignored, too.

IV. SWANK’s Position

This wasn’t aggression.
It was responsible concern — treated like an inconvenience.

We do not accept that reasonable medical requests should be punished with suspicion.
We do not accept that written-only disability notices must be repeated endlessly to matter.
We will document every moment calmness was used against the vulnerable — and every record that was too soft to be taken seriously.
