Sadly, I'm afraid it has more to do with Mercedes than mercy. There is such a massive disconnect in this country between the ethics and ideals of medical professionals and the reality of the patient experience. We have this idea that doctors are infallible, and that we can't speak up, object, question. Doctors, in particular, seem to have this idea.

Yet another benefit of a public health care system - doctors live well, but not like here; the wealth disparity alone accounts for a lot of the disconnect. And they actually have to keep patients happy in order to stay working....

Things I need to remember:
• Asking for help is not, as it turns out, fatal.
• Laughing is easier than pulling your hair out, and doesn't have the unfortunate side effect of making you look like a plague victim.
• Even the biggest tasks can be defeated if taken a bit at a time.
• I can write a paper the night before it's due, but the results are not all they could be.
• Be thorough, but focused.
• Trust yourself.
• Honesty, always.
