AWNM : Empathy

My random ramblings:

-lugubrious sounds really funny.
----–(adjective) mournful, dismal, or gloomy, esp. in an affected, exaggerated, or unrelieved manner: lugubrious songs of lost love. (Dictionary.com)

Its really interesting reading about doctors and empathy. . .
I had this sorta really grumpy guy draw blood last week. Wasn't very empathetic, but he's the first person (maybe ever?) to actually FIND my vein on the first try, and I didn't feel a thing. Wow.


My actual commentary :

I think that the idea of empathy is really important, but I find it a bit of a stretch to have it as its own chapter. It seems to me that empathy is just a combination of story and symphony - taking the information learned from story, and using the idea of symphony to haromize it with your own personal experiences.

I agree 100% that things would be SO much better if people understood that sometimes shit happens, and it happens to all of us sooner or later, weather we want it to or not.
