Meet the Australians stuck waiting for mental healthcare as the pandemic takes its toll

Truly heartbreaking for all these people suffering. The health system was deliberately imploded over decades; to force it to be run like the US health care system, a business and this is no damn accident. This would not be happening if our federal and state governments actually cared about human lives rather than  letting business dictate people’s lives. Basically we are nothing but a commodity to the system and private health care. This is not the fault of doctors, they have no say in this. Nor would they be in agreement to this, they too are victims to this horrific situation.

Doctors and nurses are sadly succumbing to this disaster too. Covid is just the icing on the cake, it is sheer hell for both patients and the medical staff and so cruel. No one deserves to suffer like this. My heart goes out to people suffering and feeling unsupported.  We have a big shortage of doctors and nurses world wide and we need to have this sorted fast. I just wonder how many doctors and nurses are actually burned out because they have given so much until they broke down too, and also need psychiatric support. It’s a sad world in need of nurturing, love and compassion.

I just hope these people will heal and go on to live happy lives; and the current health crisis will become a distant memory for everyone. We must help our loved ones cope through these terrible times. Nature is a great healer and should be a part of the healing process. Without the grounding effect of nature; humans become disconnected in body, mind and spirit.  The body, mind and spirit are a vital intricate unit, so all aspects must be healed holistically.
