The Unbearable Heaviness of Responsibility

[deucessedford]

Today we had a suicide victim - slit both of his wrists with a straight razor blade (both cuts were about two inches long) when he was drunk and drove himself to the emergency room. A blood alcohol level of something like .18. Twenty five years old

If you say that second paragraph during an interview, there's no medical school in the country that wouldn't want you as theirs.

Thank you. It's spontaneously saying these things during an interview that scares me.

I dunno. Am i too cynical now? Am i too jaded by working with The Elderly? I hope i don't become one of those doctors bent with anger towards older patients.
