There is an assumption that health and social care support is inherently good or, at worst, benign. Such a scarce commodity, individuals and families complete an often herculean assault course of bureaucracy to access; eligibility criteria, assessments, paperwork, the waitingβ¦it must be worth it. There is however a different story of health and social care, one that occasionally hits the headlines like a freak wave, breaking through and into our consciousness. It is a tale of individuals and families who have been caught up in the riptide that exists in the system. It happens something like this.
