> You'd think the medical staff would realize that just as all legs don't work the same, all minds don't work the same. And accept that working with people who respond differently to the same stimulus, whether with legs or with minds, are part of their job. The thing they trained to deal with. The variability and dysfunction of the body. The brain is part of the body.
>Nurses, at least, are well trained to accept patients' differences. I don't know what is taught in med school. But you're given enough patients to have your hands full even on a good day. Even so, it's usually the doctors that say dumb stuff.
