I was given a ton of paperwork to fill out at the hospital. I asked for help to complete it. The woman behind the desk asked me sarcastically what the problem was, and if I couldn't read. I told her as calmly as I could that I was Dyslexic, and suffered from a head injury. She turned 3 shades of red, and apologised time and time again. Damage is done. Typical day for me. I am used to this behavior. I think if people would just take a step back from their busy day, and really see other people as human beings this would never happen. I know in my heart and soul it will happen again. And I know I will face more ignorant people. I have just resigned myself to this.
