I used to have a friend, who was a doctor. This friend admitted that they had a "problem" - with not liking people, even being disgusted with them.

I need to bear this in mind when certain sub optimal practitioners I consulted IRL invade my mind

I think many of us "patients" on at least some level, are surprised and traumatised when doctors or therapists display a profound lack of empathy. I would no longer be surprised

(This is not about anyone on PC)

Respectful regards ...

I wonder...? Did this person become a doctor despite not liking people, or did the doctor start to dislike people after entering the profession?

"I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug."

How many remember and follow this?
