No. Real doctors in real life are not cutters. Sorry.[/quote]

Y'all are being ridiculous. Something like 15% of teens have engaged in cutting or self injury at some point, and the rate is higher for teenage girls. Some of those people to on to become doctors. It's so weird that you would assume this could never happen.

A very good friend of mine from high school was a cutter (abusive family) and she's now a partner at a well know law firm in LA. [/quote]

Is she a dr? And is she currently cutting?[/quote]

The original comment was "no way a cutter becomes a dr." Given that more than 1 in 10 teens, and 1 in 5 teenage girls, has engaged in cutting or other self injury, this is a really ridiculous assertion.

I don't go around asking my friends if they are cutters because it's a private activity that is none of my business. But I also don't judge it as a behavior because I've known more than one person who does it or did it, and it's usually just a sign of overwhelm of poor mental health. Plenty of doctors have poor mental health whether they are cutters or not. It's just weird to assert that cutting is somehow incompatible with becoming a doctor, and you have yet to explain WHY you think this, especially when we all know that doctors can have a broad variety of mental health issue including addiction, depression, personality disorders, anxiety, PTSD, just to name a few (many of which are represented on this show).[/quote]
