Also another serious question: why the fuck are you trying to demonize an anxiety disorder? In fact while I am here why are you trying to demonize personality disorders caused ultimately by childhood trauma?
I can understand making the argument that someone with NPD doesn’t belong in medicine for safety reasons. But anxiety disorders? Really? How is that going to impact their performance? Surely someone with anxiety is more likely to double or triple check things that others would miss.
I know alot of psychiatric and medical professionals in both my personal and professional life.
The majority of them treat others as a way of avoiding tackling their personal issues. Secondly, both work and med school is stressful as hell, and people who can’t adequately manage their issues sink not only themselves but also the people around them, or just resort to using substances.
Well managed anxiety can actually be an asset, but ‘well managed’ seems to be the exception, not the rule.
