WHAT? That makes literally no sense. Like really, no sense at all. Does he think people self-harm for fun? And who does he think needs psych consults? People who
accidentally injured themselves?
Doctors are supposed to be intelligent people, but sometimes they appear to be monumentally stupid. I'm occasionally left wondering how on earth the person even got into med school…
anywhere.
