Ep #198: Some aspects of suicide from surprising places.
Last night, Julie and I attended the play "Marooned" presented by the Wolves Theatre in Melbourne, written by Michael Gray Griffith and produced by Rohana Hayes. The play delves into the theme of suicide with profound insights, exploring the thoughts and motivations of four characters trapped in an afterlife state. It challenges viewers to question the purpose of life and confronts the pressures that lead individuals to contemplate suicide.
The dialogue in "Marooned" highlights the rat race mentality many people experience, prompting reflection on the pursuit of passion versus security. The play encourages viewers to take responsibility for their lives and resist the victim mentality. With over 80 successful performances, "Marooned" offers a thought-provoking experience with a powerful twist.
In an article in the Weekend Australian Newspaper's Magazine, Dr Steve Robson, the current president of the Australian Medical Association, shares his own experience with suicide attempt 30 years ago. His story sheds light on the pressures faced by young doctors and the systemic issues within the healthcare system. Despite calls for change, little progress has been made, highlighting the need for doctors to speak out against harmful protocols.
We discuss the need for doctors to speak the truth, and tie this to the need for each of us to speak truth, rather than to be silenced. If doctors were to speak up, the system would change.
Sadly, most doctors stay silent, patients suffer, and the system continues.
The work of Mind Medicine Australia in advocating for the use of psychedelic drugs for mental health issues is commendable. However, the bureaucratic hurdles and limited access to these treatments underscore the need for systemic change in the healthcare industry.
Additionally, the ongoing injustice faced by German-US lawyer Reiner Fuellmich, who is unjustly imprisoned by the German authorities and being psychologically tortured, serves as a reminder of the costs and importance of standing up for one's values.
On my TNT radio show this week, I interview Dr Matt Shelton, a courageous doctor who speaks out against the standard narrative. His story exemplifies the need for healthcare professionals to prioritize ethics over financial concerns.
In the second hour of the Show, I discuss the importance of recording adverse events from medical interventions with Sharon Cousins.
Resources for this week include the article by Dr. Steve Robson in the Weekend Australian magazine and the song "Eve of Destruction" by Barry McGuire: it is a poignant reminder of the current state of the world.
