๐ฉบ 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.
