was watching get real n there's this daughter of a brain dead patient who took videos of her dad and post it on youtube. i haven seen the vids but from the comments n the short footages of the vids on the show, her father was only wearing diapers. she said her purpose was to show others how a brain dead person is like. and when cheryl fox asked how will her father feel if he knows what they're doing to him, she said im sure he wont be embarrassed and tht he wont mind. but HOW DOES SHE KNOW? IS SHE HIM? i mean how can she do tht. i mean maybe she noes her dad well n she was sure tht he'll not mind but still.. i just feel uncomfortable. she is the primary caregiver and i presume tht she loves him n tht she might not have bad intentions posting the vids on youtube but it's really disturbing, at least to me. i just feel like it is unfair tht she does this and tht her dad has no right decide cos of his loss of autonomy.
it's sad n i really wouldnt want my perpustakaan and mahasiswa to do this to me ):
oo n i felt really inspired by my tutor CRYSTAL who got the outstanding social worker award! DAM ZAI RIGHT? she gave a speech today after our pizza party in tutorial and i felt really inspired. it's true she said not everybody makes good social workers. im not sure if i'll make a good one cos ive bad writing skills, might not have alot of insights, m afraid to advocate and be the 'bad person' but im learning. hopefully with A (attitude) out of ASK (attitude, skills and knowledge) i can be a better social worker. yesh n im v inspired to read more after hearing her speech. yesh, knowledge is v impt for a budding social worker and i hope it's not too late if i start reading seriously now.
