[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an RN at a hospital and have encountered more out there situations than I can count.  You just get used to the fact that the world outside your bubble of family, friends, and coworkers is full of a wiiiiiiide spread of people.

An adult daughter of an old family friend is heavily into the reborn doll community after the loss of a baby.   I get it, but it's probably the hardest thing I've had to force myself not to judge.  [/quote]

I don't understand the "We're not allowed to judge" fad. Of course you judge. It's weird as h*** and you know it. Why pretend otherwise?[/quote]

PP here.  Because I honestly have no idea what's going on in their lives that have brought them to that point.  Mental illness, trauma, special needs, just not being raised in the right environment, etc etc. I just don't see the point in judging someone for it, what good does it do?   Does it make me feel good about myself when I judge someone?  No.  So I try not to do it.  [/quote]

DP. MD here. Thinking that something is highly unusual and not understanding it is not the same thing as judging. We try our best not to judge because it affects how we treat someone and ultimately, they could receive inferior care if we make a value judgment based on what we see. I have also seen very weird things, notably things stuck in orifices, things stuck around appendages, etc. I don’t understand any of them, but I try to ignore them and focus on the medical issue at hand.[/quote]
