Here is another article about how young people with chronic illnesses are treated. There is no understanding or respect. This woman’s illness is not completely invisible. I thing that I would notice if a twenty-three year old woman came into the ER with an oxygen tank connected to a tube that traveled up into two little prongs in her nose attempting to breathe to live a little longer. How insensitive are we as a society that we can not understand that she may need help more than you at the moment? I applaud this young lady for being strong and coming out to answer that woman, even if she didn’t have the strength in the beginning.
