Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

I had a mammogram this morning and the technician really hurt me trying to get me situated.  It was so painful, and yet I forced myself to thank her at the end.  I am grateful for the technology, and I know she was well intentioned.  Maybe unskilled, but not sadistic.  It was not a pleasant experience, and I found myself teary at the end, thinking of what my daughter and friends of mine have gone through with breast cancer.

I could complain, but perhaps the pain serves a purpose.  If it does not, then I've made a mistake not to speak up for other women.  It was a close call, but I opted to assume the best and not get an employee in trouble.  I may feel differently later.  To speak or not to speak, that is the question.
