We know people are far more likely to get the worst effects of PTSD if they have had a bad childhood.

So no surprise her useless family are lined up by her bedside watching her being killed rather than pushing the doctors to actually help her.

This is why these laws are so dangerous, the most vulnerable mentally ill people don't have anyone to stand up for them or fight their corner. Often that is the reason they are sick in the first place.

Pretty much every hospital is deadly if you don't have family to look out for you, no matter the culture of the country, and I can't see there has been any solution found to this problem.
