Yes @Little_Leopard  Absolutely! I have experienced first hand how the face drops when nurses, doctors etc hear "BPD". You get a cold should straight away and you are sent out of the hospital faster than you can say "boo". You are so right in raising that. This is why people need to understand what BPD is, esp people working ED. 

It's so hard when people do not understand the incredible pain a borderline is experiencing. I read somewhere that people say childbirth is one of the most painful experiences (physically), and BPD is neck-to-neck with that, but emotionally. If only people knew.
