porphyrinLook, I realise I don't have to clicky thingy on any links, okay?
And that I did, and that I found someone ranting against all doctors, the medical profession as a whole, and making blanket statements that all doctors are shits who want to rape you up the ass just to get more money shouldn't hurt me.
But it does.
I work very hard to be as good a physician as I can be. I work at it every day. I study every day. I bust my gonads to be a good physician.
Comments about how you hate all doctors are not appreciated by me, a doctor.
I realise I shouldn't have clicked the clicky thingy on someone's rant about medicine.
Regardless.
If you're likely to put up posts like that on a usual basis, about how all doctors suck, and how we're all out to get you, please drop me a line. I can unfriend you and go about my day without crying for 15 minutes and then having a terrible 'whopped in the stomach' feeling for the rest of the day.
ETA: I'm actually okay with 'my doctor sucks and here's why'. Honest. Just not blanket statements that all physicians suck and are out to get you.
It would be like me saying, "I hate all writers, because they're all pretentious."
Alternatively, if I see a lot of 'all doctors suck' blanket statements made, you may get unfriended anyway.

I know I shouldn't take it personally, but still. I can't help it.

I couldn't do what you do. I've told you that before. It takes more guts and courage to get through one of your days than most people need to muster up for an entire lifetime at their job.
There are crappy doctors out there, I've had a couple myself. But there are also crappy teachers, lawyers, bankers and accountants. It is not right or fair to paint an entire profession as corrupt or selfish or anything else.
You are still my hero, Dr. Stella. Don't let the bastards get you down. *hug*
