"The Sick Who Do Not Speak"

[Jim Wilce]

YOU WROTE:

Hello--
I remember reading a few years ago about a situation in Australia in
which the caregiver to a person who was ill has the telling rights to
the story of the illness and the recovery and the person was ill does
not...can anyone send me a citation for this?  Thank you!
