ISOLATION FOR COVERING A MISTAKE IS DOUBLE JEOPARDY

 ​In our society, certain professions—most notably in medicine—are founded on the sacred duty of helping others. We trust these individuals with our lives. Yet, when mistakes occur, the consequences are often catastrophic, destroying or permanently altering the life of an innocent person. While oversight organizations exist to ensure accountability and prevent future tragedies, a much darker pattern often emerges.

​What is truly unforgivable is not just the initial error, but the calculated effort to cover it up. Instead of transparency and restitution, those at fault often double down. They refuse to admit their mistakes and, in a display of extreme arrogance, believe they can "fix" a shattered life through superficial means or psychological manipulation.

​These institutions often cross a moral line, employing tactics that are both cruel and delusional:

• ​Attempting to convince the victim that the incident was their own fault or that their suffering isn't real.
• ​Using pressure and "marketing" tactics to demand the victim return to their previous life as if nothing happened.
• ​Using their vast resources to isolate the victim, applying pressure that amounts to a "double jeopardy."

​Trying to force a victim into silence or "recovery" through intimidation is not a solution—it is a second assault. When an organization uses isolation and power to overwhelm a person who has already been harmed, it moves beyond professional negligence and becomes a systemic form of bullying. True healing cannot exist where there is no accountability, and a victim cannot be "repaired" by the same hands that refuse to acknowledge they broke them.
