How do they get away with it?

As seen here, an excellent examination on how evil spreads.

How do bad people prosper? By sticking together and convincing others that bad is good. Simple but effective. And evil.

I remember a nurse in Sydney at a well known psychiatric hospital. She was beautiful, well spoken, kind and a good nurse. She was a threat to the bad nurses, predominantly male. They 'knew' her type. They saw through her to her innate goodness.

They knew that if she saw them bashing patients, or giving unwarranted drugs, drinking alcohol at work or any other 'male nurse thing', that she would report them. Not that reporting them would do any good. She would only have reported them to their mates. Anyway, they got her.

She had a lovely, sporty, expensive car. One night when she was on night shift, they poured paint all over it. The last time I saw her, she looked stunned. She could not look at me. She knew that no matter how good she was, she would go nowhere because she was a good person.

You have to make some choices and she made a very painful one. She left the hospital. Wherever she went, they were lucky to get her. The male nurses (baggy pants, they are called) all stayed there. Getting unwarranted overtime. Bullying, bashing lying and getting promoted.

A psychiatrist told me that when he was training, he saw a male nurse bashing patients. He could not do anything about it because it would have been a career ender. False accusations would have been brought against him and by the time he cleared his name, his future would be over. Many years later he saw the male nurse again.

He said that the nurse is now near the top of Mental Health in this state. Crooks prosper in this system of things.

I have chosen to stay on the narrow path. So, what choices will you make.

And you wonder why we criticise psychiatrists.
