I was forced to do 100 hours a week for a company that had a sadistic culture of over work, you never get anything done, under those kind of hours unless you're doing stimulant drugs your brain just shuts down. I wonder how many doctors are also drug addicts just to make this kind of work intensity physically possible even?

I'm surrounded by doctors and I don't know any that abuse drugs, other than alcohol and maybe weed. I believe they are just so busy and so overworked that they are constantly moving around / doing paperwork. The demands of the job keep them going.

You must have never met psychiatrists then; never seen otherpeople take drug usage so lightly.

You don't know any doctors that use drugs, but you do know of some that do weed.

I'm laughing...

Is weed a kind of tea, or is that an energy bar?
