Anyways, I'm not necessarily saying people should do those things, but there are fairly reasonable explanations for all of them. Except maybe the lottery ticket one. And *maybe* the hoarding one.

ellorie Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I usually do it by recognizing that I also do a lot of things that make no sense from the outside. We all have our foibles, and admitting to our own makes it easier to tolerate them in others. I generally believe that any given person is doing the best they can with their life at any given moment. It may not be optimal, or the way I would do it (which are two different things), but it's the best they can do. I think that most people are more good than bad.

Most doctors I have seen have a live-and-let-live attitude. People do things that are aggravating or even blatantly stupid (i.e. smoking) all the time. Do you think that, as a future doctor, you will have the time in the day to get into arguments with people about these things that they do? Rhetorical question: no you will not. There was a great episode of Scrubs in the first season where Dr. Cox went over this with JD about a smoker who kept coming to the hospital for emphysema. In Dr. Cox's fashion, he told JD to stick to his guns no matter what, but not to be a vocal nanny who tells the patient what to do all the time. Get used to this OP, thats people for you.

future_doc Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Mind your own business and focus on your own life and priorities. These are mindless distractions that are not relevant to anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
