eithical blog for Meg, Sonnie, Kalia, and Molly

We found that the ethical group was really interesting! It was very cool that the group leader had set that all up for everyone to support one another and she facilitated the conversation very well (and was therapeutic about it too!) It almost seemed that the experiences the members had had with medical personnel was not good, because they all seemed to be hating on medical people. However, they were hopeful that we would come away with a new outlook (a patient's outlook) on what to do FOR the patients and that was beneficial.
We did find it encouraging that everyone seemed to really respect the nurses, and were surprised to hear the doctor/pharm rep relationship and how it affected these people's perception of the doctors. It was neat to get to go to a meeting and to get the welcome we did, and it was really great to hear things from a patient's point of view!

Second life seems to be a good outlet for many people. It's great for them to communicate with others that have similar disabilities. It's good to hear that they seem to have a general respect for nurses.
