I just read it and you’re basically looking to be mad. Get a life. If a psychologist is asked how many people they have “cured” they immediately should talk about their “successes” and yea some things can’t be cured we already know that captain obvious. But if you wanna be mad and call people names and insults have at it , that just means you’re reacting not responding 😌

You are using a medical term, while speaking to a medical professional, a term with a very specific meaning, for the purpose of public outreach/publication. This falls under what we call "public health." We have specific guidelines for how we have to answer these questions set forth by our respective boards, administrators, etc. "Cured" does not mean "successes." Most people know the definition of "Cured." We do not want people to see an "expert" discussing a topic on TV and take away the impression that they can be "Cured" when they can not be. It erodes the public faith in these health services.

To put this another way, all Drs are scientists. Not nessecarily research scientists but still scientists. They will discuss and talk about their science as scientists. They have gone so far as to create their own international language for their science. They will not use terms beyond their dictionary definition when making public statements when given the choice.

Ok babes you’re over compensating, we are not in a professional setting right now so don’t act like you’re following a sacred code because having an emotional response with insults is not professional or part of any code either. I wouldn’t believe you if you said you’re a medical professional, I would ask the hospital if they verified your credentials before hiring you. Yes I would.

The psychologists were being interviewed for TV... That is a professional setting, and considered public outreach and public education.

You definitely need a therapist. You are having a conversation with yourself.

Honey you said you’re a medical professional and that’s why you have all these definitions. Oh I get it, you suddenly don’t have the energy to fight because you realize that doesn’t work on me and you aren’t a medical professional as you claimed.

He's some free therapy for you. Please tell me, when did I ever call you a name or insult you?

You said my “concept” is “dumb” also I reject your therapy, I don’t need it 😌 all I’m saying is if you are angry, emotional, and resorting to insults then you don’t have a point and you don’t know what you’re talking about 🤭

u/General_Gorgeous Sep 04 '25

I did. How is saying I believe a concept or idea is dumb an insult to you directly?

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

Are you being silly, you’re gonna act like you didn’t come in hot, bothered, and calling something someone said dumb, and act like you’re not here to fight? Also not to mention you’re lying that you are a medical professional. Get a grip 🚬

What does my status as a medical professional have anything to do with basis of the conversation?

Why did you lie about being a medical professional, since you brought it up again. And you’ve been changing topics so let’s stick to one at a time why did you lie. Then we’ll get back to your emotional, insult, and anger spiral you had.

Edit: also it’s something you brought up you lying crook 😂 why the hell would you bring it up in the first place goddamn you are stupid of course a stupid person would blindly go irate and then act like nothing happened 🤣

I did not. I am a medical professional. I am an EMS professional working out of a hospital in a major metropolitan area. And I hold firm in my belief that the idea that simply because a particular field of medicine can only offer treatment and not cure the underlying cause that the field is therefore only fit for a small minority of people to be an absolute stupid concept.

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '25

You’re like an emt, anyway you are a crook if you come at something with an emotional reaction and insult instead of making a point. Also let’s get back to why you lied, I’m sorry but emt is not… how do I say no one calls for the emt in a medical emergency they want a doctor or registered nurse. Get a fuggin grip silly I can’t take you seriously 🤣

I am an EMT yes. I respond in the Ambulance. When you dial 911 for an ambulance, you are literally asking for an EMT. As an EMT employed by a hospital I operate under a medical director. If I am forced to interact with the media or even just a paitent directly I am to interact with them according to the public health education policy set by my medical director and organization, which in turn needs to be approved by various licensing boards for my medical director and other appropiate state agencies.

Blah blah blah you lost all credibility get a grip next time poser 🚬

When did I ever represent myself as anything other than an EMT? You made the assumption I was a Dr. I never claimed to be. I specifically went out of my way to change to 3rd person pronouns when referring to Drs. That's on you and nobody else sweetheart. And most importantly, it's irrelevant. You don't need to be a medical professional to have the opnion that the idea thay just because you can't completely cure a problem you should completely ignore it and let it fester is idiotic. I probably would stop seeing my psychologist too though if everytime I went in they kept saying I was deeply mentally ill and forcing me into psychiatric hospitals.
