I agree with all you said. Imo, the reason why noctors aren't scared and feel emboldened to go around hurting patients out of ignorance is two-fold.
1. It's baked in them taking the job in the first place. That's the first hurdle and whoever crosses over the initial, common sense, "I shouldn't be seeing medical patients without being a doctor" has requisite absence of insight.
2. Due to lack of medical training, they don't have the ingrained sense of medical ethics, which exists purely to steer practitioners in the direction of "first, do no harm". Medical ethics can't be just learned in a course. It has to be witnessed, lived and discussed over and over, during the long basic medical training, then under supervision of seniors, for many years. Noctors bypass all that, and therefore don't have the very important instincts or brakes on their practice and behaviour.
@wonderlandmom@Am_hailey This is crazy. She literally offered her the same food as her own children, not kike they had sweets and she was offered fruit.
@iAbheejit@MahimaJalan2@anilsagarwal Ensuring new mothers have some income for themselves and their baby doesn't seem like a fun "freebie" to me. There's statutory maternity pay in the UK and I think it would be barbaric not to have it
@finnsomnia@uncletypewriter Ironic, if someone is being bullied and has to invite their bully! I imagine they're glad to escape them outside of class, only to have to invite them to their birthday. This would be so annoying lol
@AliBi40@MsMelChen@itsme_urstruly Yes, I'd say probably ๐
Reminds me of the man on Secret Eaters who couldn't understand why he wasn't losing weight cause all he had for breakfast was cereal. Turns out it was like a mixing bowl sized portion topped with cream ๐
@jweinraub@prieurdp@SamGreenFL Yeah I genuinely find it easier than driving forward into a space. Can use mirrors and park nice and straight and not worry about hitting the cars either side
I accidentally uncovered one of the funniest secrets in my parents' marriage.
My parents have been married for over 30 years.
Every summer evening, without fail, they'll spend an hour outside together watering plants, pulling weeds, trimming bushes, and fussing over their yard.
The landscaping around their house looks like something out of a magazine.
I've always assumed it was my dad's thing.
A few years ago, I was helping him outside and asked how he got so into gardening.
He laughed.
Dad: Honestly?
Me: Yeah.
Dad: I've never really cared about it.
Me: What?
Dad: Your mom loves it.
Dad: I just like spending time with her.
I remember thinking that was one of the sweetest things I'd ever heard.
Fast forward to this week.
I stopped by while my dad was out of town.
My mom and I were sitting in the kitchen talking when the yard came up.
Mom: You know, I never actually cared much about gardening.
Me: ...what?
Mom: Your dad loves it.
Me: No he doesn't.
Mom: Of course he does.
Me: Mom...
Mom: What?
Me: Dad told me years ago he only does it because he thinks you love it.
She just stared at me.
Then I stared at her.
Mom: You're kidding.
Me: I wish I was.
So we started digging.
Turns out when they first started dating, both of them wanted to seem interesting and outdoorsy.
Dad told her he enjoyed landscaping.
Mom pretended she did too.
Dad saw her enthusiasm and doubled down.
Mom saw his enthusiasm and doubled down.
And somehow neither of them ever admitted the truth.
Thirty years later they're still out there every evening watering flowers neither one of them actually wanted.
Just because each thinks they're doing something nice for the other.
Me: So what are you going to do?
Mom: Nothing.
Me: You're not going to tell him?
Mom: Absolutely not.
Me: Why?
Mom: Because now he'll think I've been lying for 30 years.
Me: You have been.
Mom: Exactly.
I haven't told my brothers.
I haven't told my dad.
Honestly, I don't think I ever will.
At this point it's less of a misunderstanding and more of a renewable energy source powering their entire marriage.
@PeteWeller18797@MayorofLondon Agreed. Itโs why we canโt only have an individual response. Learning to live in a shared society starts with parenting and has to be supported by govt, schools and society.
