[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would totally judge my doctor for being a smoker or obese. If you can't take care of yourself, then how can you take care of me?[/quote] But the doctor doesn't actually take care of you. S/he gives you the tools to take care of yourself (advice, knowledge, medicine, etc.). You still have to use those tools and it's not always easy. By the same token, s/he can give him/herself the tools but still struggle with using them. Put it this way-- are you suggesting that a doctor who smokes actually lacks the medical knowledge to understand that smoking is unhealthy? Because I seriously doubt that. My 8-year-old knows that. I think it shows more that the doctor is human, and understands how difficult it can be sometimes to do the things we know we should. It just might make the doctor more compassionate-- a quality that MANY doctors I have seen lack. [/quote]
