I think (hope) that attitudes in society are changing and people are becoming more accepting of differences.

Although drama programmes on TV are meant to be fiction, they often tackle issues that affect the everyday lives of people and do not realise what affect that has on how people view certain illnesses, etc. It is also a shame that some of the viewers of these programmes do not question the fictional portrayal of these issues and instead, take them as reality.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11072751005346706326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6939318729068383326.post-614594248295819832014-09-19T10:34:15.086+01:002014-09-19T10:34:15.086+01:00I think Holby writers need to remember that while ...I think Holby writers need to remember that while they are writing for 'entertainment' purposes they are talking about real disease that effect real people and that their mis- portrayal on mainstream TV has a knock on effect.

We too are dealing with a 'condition' (PDA) that people would far rather deny is real than try and help with. What gets me is that 'people' think that any parents would want to make any of this up to give themselves a difficult life. It's just a crazy lack of understanding - and you're right, it's being scared of what they don't know enough about. Some people, the better ones, care enough to learn.
