What validation feels like

[Guest guest]

I was talking to a group of health professionals who work with

doctors who finally reversed their denialist views when confronted

with by the reality that further obstinance is merely an expression

of ignorance.

These staff members said that despite this, their doctors are " good "

doctors.

I asked, " After decades of fighting with their patients, just

how " good " can they possibly be? "

The answer was " It was your fault for not being pursuasive enough.

If there was any failure, it was on your part because you obviously

didn't present the information in a compelling manner " .

So this is what validation feels like.

You are considered insane until the reality of your case is proven.

But once it has,

it is your fault of you failed to prove to the doctor that reality

really does exist.

The doctor has not one twinge of regret for anything he has done.

And there you go!
