#outdated and also tend to be cruel towards the patients as well unfortunately

this is a random late night thought, i know, but i'm just thinking about how the orderlies in arkham must react to finding barton cuddling with his bunkie in the morning if they had a nightmare orrr they both needed to get warm (like i believe i've mentioned previously on here before). like, idk what gave me this impression, but for those of them that just don't give a shit about their job rather than the abusive a-holes (i honestly feel like these are the two main categories of orderlies that work at arkham, NGL)...
i really do feel like they'd do something like place bets between themselves as to whether they think something is going on between certain inmates or not. and when they're either proven right or wrong, they exchange the money they bet on it. because these people unfortunately could not care less about the fact that in barton's case (and possibly in other's cases), he literally does it as a means of survival / to have a source of comfort most of the time because that place is god awful
#OF MONSTERS AND MEN: musings.#ooc post.#tw: mentions of the mistreatment of patients.#tw: mentions of medical malpractice.#yeahhh. i honestly could talk about how they likely dehumanize all of the patients in arkham in more quote unquote 'subtle' ways like this#as well as more obvious ways for a while because that place is just brimming with corruption TBH and some of the treatments that they-#do as well as the equipment that they use are just... YIKES. that's the only word i could use for it because they're just so severely-#outdated and also tend to be cruel towards the patients as well unfortunately#but i just think that the place kind of encourages their staff to adopt either a 'i don't give a crap about anything' sort of attitude-#or a 'these people are awful and so i'm going to do whatever i like here' type of attitudes as well which are definitely not the best to-#have because you desperately need to practice empathy in a place that is supposed to be used for rehabilitation but let's be honest...#the doctor's there are also part of the problem
