Scorn for the disabled?

This is one of those times that you realize what happens to other people when it happens to you.

I think long term care is typically associated with older folks, or disabled or special needs people.  Basically, you know things aren't going to get better.  You have to guard yourself at looking down on them because they're needy.  And you have to realize (and they as well) that not everyone can be perfect in their behavior towards them.

When you're injured and know you're going to get better- and then get treated with scorn or discounted it really hurts.  Because you know you're going to get better and they would never treat you like that were you up and about and walking around. 

It's different in that you expect to be treated the same as if you were healthy- and it is the same in that bad behavior toward someone who isn't fully functional is a terrible thing to do.
