Ten points for recognizing the suckiness of life. Unfortunately, I'm going to have deduct twenty for the ridiculous doctor-patient analogy.
See, I don't get stressed about patients because I don't care. I care about the diagnosis but the patients...they're just an obstacle. In fact, most of the time I don't even meet them because they're irrelevant. Medicine is a purely intellectual exercise and that's easy for me.
It's not that simple with...non-patient type people. [In other words, with his friends, family, lovers--people he cares about.] There are all kinds of 'feelings' involved. It's irrational. It's messy. It's not the kind of problem I know how to solve.
Truth is--I'm not sure I want to solve it. Being alone sucks but it's doable. Being in any kind of relationship and then losing it--because I always lose it--that sucks way worse.
