sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
I will feel self conscious about mentioning that I'm a doctor in case it comes off as sounding self important and so on. If someone specifically asks, then I'll answer (because they asked). But if they didn't, then I won't volunteer it in case I get perceived as a "This guy will tell someone he's a doctor at every opportunity" person, even if that's not factually true.
It also means I field less random questions outside of work. Family asking for advice is enough.
I don't really get into general online discussions outside of this forum because I find it pointless, so I'll just let some unknown stranger continue their beliefs. It doesn't bother me. I'm more of a lurker outside of here.
The online discussions I do get into outside of this forum are focused, non-health related topics where my being a doctor is unhelpful and irrelevant.
I'll answer if there's an emergency on a plane or something.
I have very few friends in real life. They know, so the phrase is unnecessary.
And you guys know. I guess this is actually one of the few places I use it, where I actually feel bothered to talk about health stuff, and where using the phrase helps clarify my perspective.
