Couldn't help it, have to post it. Since we're on the topic of medical/health in the Sea Org. Wow!!!! Okay, so this will just give you a very small IDEA of how bad it is. So, I was having some major stomach issues and wanted to see a doctor. The MLO (Medical Officer) told me that she had a great idea to send me to the emergency room hospital so it would be free and we would be seen right away since "our time was gold".
Since we made so little income, we would qualify for some sort of financial aid program and all the SO members got treated at this hospital free. She sent me and two girls off to this hospital that was so gross and disgusting. She told us to really turn on the drama so we'd get seen right away, so we went in there and there were scenes from a freakin horror movie, I kid you not!! Bums all over the hallways, screaming, oh man!!
The three of us were terrified. We ended up waiting for hours and hours anyway (I guess we weren't really that good with the acting skills), so took off before we were even seen. Not to mention we were so freaked out about the place. However, we eventually got used to the place, and this is where all the SO members started going.
I would think to myself that with all the money the Church made, why couldn't they at least have proper health insurance coverage and proper doctors for their personnel. I wonder how legal this whole operation is. I know they also had some major legal issues with workman's compensation, because the MLO used to get people to basically SAY that some injury or illness was caused at work, so they could put people on workmen's compensation to pay for it as they couldn't get any money approved through FP (financial planning)!!!
This really should be a whole investigation in itself!! I'm sure there's a shitload of crimes and illegal crap here.
