One of the docs I worked for tells a story a psychiatrist friend of him told him about a group of shrinks at a convention and this one telling a particularly awful story about a patient and his long series of one horrible event after the other and he was getting emotional himself. Somebody somewhere in the group seemed to snigger, tried to stifle it. Somebody else sniggered a bit, too. Before long, more than a few little hard-suppressed giggles and then somebody couldn't help themselves and just exploded in laughter. Before long he said the whole group was beating-the-table laughing so hard they were all crying. He said his friend said the group all agreed that sick-humor is quite often cleansing when a lot of tension is building up, particularly with medical types or people who see/feel a lot of pain or experience things intensely. IDK if that applies here or we are all just looney!  |
I worked in the human medical profession for man years. Yes, we do have to harden our hearts to a lot of what is seen everyday but it does not stop anyone from being caring and kind to the sick and injured. You bring up child abuse to a medical worker and you will not see anyone laughing. When you have to experience it on a regular basis it makes you sick to your stomach.
I can't speak for a psychiatrist that sits in an office and writes scripts all day for the social workers and psychologists that actually see the patients.
