Fri 3 Oct 2008
Aside from the work mentioned in the previous post I have another project I’m getting underway.
Several years ago I suffered some reasonably serious injuries in a workplace accident. My account of this particular time was published in the UK magazine Safety and Health Practitioner, something for which I am both grateful and surprised. The Editor of SHP, Tina Weadick, went out on a limb to publish the piece in full. This was first article of its type in the magazine and surprising given the graphic nature of some of the supplied photographs and the material itself. You can read a copy of the article here.
Despite a ruling by a legislated body here in Australia that I was 35% whole-of-person impaired as a result of my injuries I refuse to consider myself disabled. The “35%” was quite a number, and based on this assessment alone I was now less than two-thirds an able bodied person. The work will try to explore, among other things, what this number and situation means, if anything, to the people with whom the injured parties work, relate and socialize. What does it mean to them? Do they get to parking closer to the supermarket entrance? Can they tick the “Do you have a disability?” box on job applications, giving them immediate membership to a minority benefiting from positive discrimination? Or will employers now avoid them because they may cost more down the track? Personally it has meant no change aside from some minor physical adjustments, but that’s just my situation.
Why did it work out for me? Not driven by ‘survivor’s guilt,’ I nonetheless wonder why I refuse to consider my injuries an ongoing disability. Others, I am quite sure, are much less fortunate. From memory I received no specific counseling in hospital, and from the moment recovery began, even before the completion of surgical work, I was in no doubt my life would continue to be very similar to what it had always been.
Next to me on the ward, and please forgive any minor discrepancies in my memory, a young man had his dominant hand reattached after it had been liberated by samurai sword in a gang-related scuffle. Looking across he seemed defeated; he appeared to have already succumbed to depression and a difficult future dealing with disability. I remember quizzing my consultant quietly about my neighbour’s prognosis, and his response was in line with my quick observations. He would likely need assistance for the remainder of his life. Compared to my crushed appendage, the probability of a better outcome for my neighbour was higher – I’m told clean cuts make for better nerve and other connections during healing than crushed meat. Yet it would never happen for him unless he chose that path and wanted such an outcome. He had been advised of this, of course, but at that early stage it appeared beyond him.
Why? Is it simply a positive frame of mind? Are we predisposed one way or another? These are some of the questions I am trying to answer with this book. The work will explore the psychological concept of resilience, but in lay terms, and it will not be an academic piece.
If you know of anyone who may be interested in contributing please get in touch with me through this site. Names can be changed and the strictest confidentiality is assured due to the inherently personal nature of the subject matter.
Despite vigorous preventative campaigns industrial injuries continue to kill and maim many in the workforce. My own experience leads me to believe that telling the stories of others – what happened and how they struggle(d) to overcome it – will help some come to better terms with both their injuries and attempts to return to a normal life (whatever ‘normal’ is). It should also lead others to greater awareness and effort in preventing workplace accidents.
I hope some of you can help.50mg Hcl Tramadol
