If she also skipped the fries (and had salad instead) that wouldn't be the worst imaginable diet.
Is your insight that doctors are regular educated humans suffering from the same flaws and vices as other regular educated humans?
> She loved cocaine and moly. Currently cycles Adderall and Ritalin (or something very similar) so she doesn’t get too used to one or the other.
Not sure what this is supposed to imply. I expect the same can also be said for at least 20% of SV, Big Law, Wall Street and Main Street in the 20-29 age range.
They are modern qualities of the loud morality failed majority these days. Just because it's common for celebrities and kids of rich people to do drugs and screw around, doesn't mean that's what my parents expect from their doctors.
Actually they are, your statement applies to any one of the examples I gave you of what society considers successful/prestigious careers. Silicon Valley is the poster child for stimulant and hallucinogen use/abuse, are they not similarly regular educated people?
> Just because it's common for celebrities and kids of rich people to do drugs and screw around
Where are you getting the idea that it's only common amongst celebrities and kids of rich people?
> They are modern qualities of the loud morality failed majority these days.
I don't even know what "loud morality failed majority" means but morality (particularly your personal definition of it) =/= professional competency.
The disconnect here seems to be your expectations. Once again, physicians as a group are no different than any other similar white-collar profession. Sorry to disappoint but we're not special.
My point about celebrities and rich famous people was that they normalized it, to the point that you aren't even surprised doctors are druggies in their free time.
No one cars that some Uber programmer is on speed. More people would care to know that their doctor that recommends heart pressure medication is a druggy, because they'd know this personal doesn't really care about potential kidney damage in themselves, so of course they'll recommend you take kidney damaging heart medication without really explaining that that's what is happening.
If you left the SV and internet bubble, you'd learn that drug use and alcohol use is not liked by most in their higher level professionals.
The doctor I dated for years never drank water. She loved diet coke. She ate mcdonalds constantly but avoided the bun. She was skinny though. I had to teach her how to pump gas because her dad did it for her until she was 22. She loved cocaine and moly. Currently cycles Adderall and Ritalin (or something very similar) so she doesnt get too used to one or the other. I could list 20 other 'wtf?' type of things about her. Most others are similarly weird, careless, unhealthy, confused and logicless.
