You see this everywhere. From fans telling writers that *their* interpretation of a work is as or more valid than the writer's intention, due to they're the consumer (that Death of the Author horseshit for a writer/painter/whatever who is still alive). From people decrying rich folks spending their money on a Lamborghini instead of the Red Cross or high tips (while I agree charity is a GOOD thing and that people probably should help other people, it's not charity if it's expected or forced through pressure and you having to live on tips because of the American system of pay is not their fault nor should they be required to tip you if they don't like your service). From contractors telling my bank what we should require as documentation before we will pay out insurance proceeds.
Is it yours? No? Then stfu.
I'm very sorry to hear that. That's one of many reasons I can't be in medicine of any kind. I cannot handle others' in pain.Raptora wrote:Doing home visits with a doc today, and it's surprisingly quiet for late flu season among the elderly folks this week. It's been a little difficult, as we've lost a few of my favorite patients since I last went on rotation with this doc, and seeing their spouses in the halls by themselves hurts my heart quite a bit. It's good to see everyone though. I'd like to apply for a more permanent schedule on in-patient care, assuming ER doesn't explode anytime soon.
