I know health care is different in all different countries -- for instance here in the U.S. it's not free, and there are MANY people without any health care at all (I'm one of them) as well as those with "substandard" health care in which mental health isn't covered at all. It can be scary, any health issue can drive you to homelessness. (I have my fingers crossed that I make it through school and get a good job WITH insurance before "something" comes up...)
Just saying Health care isn't always an option, and maybe someone can afford the cost of a tarot reader and hope for the best, over certain ruin in an attempt to seek "normal" help.
My own stance -- I'm not qualified to read on health matters. My daughter in law once asked me to read on her mother, who is awaiting a heart transplant. I told her, the doctors are doing all they can for her, she's going to the best hospitals etc.... I can't read for you on this. But, I can read on how you can help her best while she waits for her turn on the list... That went well and she was happy about the reading. So, disaster diverted in this case...(I would have preferred to do a reading on how her husband -- my son -- could support HER as she supports her mother, as he is NOT being supportive..lol But he wouldn't listen to me anyway.)
As I'm not a professional reader, and really mainly only read here at the forums, it's not such an issue for me. But I can see where this would be for professional readers. Very good topic.
