This is going to seem really weird, but I was wondering if you had any ideas how I can explain to the people responsible for my education that I am scared to be in certain areas of the hospital/wards due to having been a patient there and having been treated extremely badly? I feel as though they will feel I got something against the hospital or something. We never reported it at the time bc it was supposedly my last time there & I didn't know it'd end up being a concern in my education

This question lives in a huge grey area and my response is probably going to be unpopular. I don’t know what happened to you in this hospital. If it was truly traumatic, that’s really unfortunate and your administrators hopefully will have your back. But I’m not sure that the people in charge of your education are going to completely bend and allow you to avoid those areas altogether either. 

Certainly if one or two individuals were responsible for the incident you may be able to request not being assigned to that area during their shifts. But if it’s a whole ward of a hospital; it’s going to be very difficult to complete your education and do your job while also avoiding that area completely. 

Medicine is full of uncomfortable situations, even potentially abusive situations. They can be terrifying to think about when you’re early in your training, but you learn to deal with them in time. Friend, are you going to hide from a patient who is rude to you? Will you refuse to care for a group of people whose lifestyles or beliefs are offensive to you? Are you going to cower under the (legitimate or not) criticisms of your teachers and superiors? Certainly there is a need for punishing abusive behavior and holding people accountable for their actions, but we also have to learn to stand strong and be resolute for the sake of helping others. We can’t let other people’s bad behavior cheat us out of valuable experiences. 

Ultimately I would recommend talking to your rotation coordinator privately and telling them about your experience as a patient. Ask them for their advice on how to manage the situation. It will help to have someone who knows your history there before you venture to that ward, just in case something happens. Ask them how you can minimize potential problems that may come up without sacrificing your education. Figure out a plan B that you can follow that allows you to still learn the things you need to without stirring up unnecessary drama. But in the end if the administration tells you to suck it up and get over it, be brave and face your fears, not with an aim for revenge but with grace and dignity. Do it for the sake of your (and that ward’s) future patients.

Theres a lot of things you can analyse about crowley’s character in relation to how he’s not very evil and he’s a likeable guy despite the fact that he’s supposed to be making everyone’s lives miserable but I think that one of the most poignant little things that made him so endearing to me is that whenever he forgets himself and aziraphale chides him for being cruel or otherwise rude, he always apologises for it.

I know we’ve explored this dynamic a lot in this fandom but Crowley’s firm belief in nurture over nature because he needs to believe that he can be more than a powerless agent of hell *or* heaven vs Aziraphale’s clinging to the belief that good and evil must be inherent because otherwise he has to accept that he is fundamentally as capable as Crowley of doing evil and there is no real moral high ground unless he takes personal responsibility: fight!
