Found this rather interesting...

Doctors always appear nice....more 'facts' would help.

Doctors always appear nice....

Not always...

Back in 2004, I was taken by ambulance to the hospital with the worst pain in the upper area of my chest I had ever felt in my life. When the tests and x-rays came back from the lab, my doctor, who was, indeed very nice) told me I had pancreatitis caused by gallstones (apparently, I had grown my own internal rock garden). He said an opertaion was needed quickly and it would take him about an hour and a half of surgery to complete. When I woke up from the surgery, my doctor told me there had been problems (including my blood presure nearly tanking) and the total surgery time had been just over three hours and required three surgeons. He introduced me o the other two doctors: one was nice enough, though he appeared a little bored or distracted; the other doctor, however, had a rather disturbing scowl on his face and probably the worst personality of anyone in the medical profeesion I had ever met. He made televisions "Dr. House" look like kindly "Dr. Marcus Welby". He decided he wanted to take a look at my incision and handled me so roughly that if I hadn't been weaked by the surgery and the pain medication, I would have popped him one. Fortunately, I only saw him once more in my near three weeks in the hospital and he did not physically touch me again.

So, not all doctors appear nice...

Articles about serial killers always creep me out, I feel just uneasy reading about them.

No doubt it is a fascinating subject however, how the human brain can function, even in a less than shall we say, optimized way in these cases.

The only thing I really have to add in this case, especially since it's a world war case, I always remember a quote from Schindler's list

" War always brings out the worst in people, never the good"
Or something on that line, not really much more I can add :P

I'm sorry to learn of that but my experiences have been more favourable (in terms of doctors attitudes)...perhaps I've just been lucky

Did you hear the one about harold shipman, and why he topped himself?
Apparently he 'ran out of patience'

Harold Shipman's suicide note has been found. It reads - "I can't go on. I've run out of patience".
