I so agree with the last 2 posts! I too feel empathy is VERY important when dealing with someone who has any kind of illness. Not only from the medical community, but from family and friends as well.
But I do feel that at least sympathy should be a requirement of anyone who is in the medical field. Even though there's nothing like going through it to truly understand it.
I too wonder why many Psychiatrists are in the field. I think maybe they started out with good intentions but get burnt out after seeing so much grief and suffering day in, day out. Or maybe they just find it fascinating. Of course there's always the nice salary...
Excellent point to you both! And I have ALWAYS felt that to truly understand an illness, one must endure himself/herself. I really do. And so does my mom as she has been having panic attacks for gosh 40 years? They used to think she was insane.
Take good care everyone and please remember to be extra kind to those who are going through a tough time. Because we all know how it feels and it isn't good.
Have a great day!
Hugs,
Baby Bunny
