This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Oh, yeah, we've all been there.
Also, religion and medicine don't seem like things that should mix. They are bringing preconceived notions to the table that are not supposed by logic, that seems dangerous in the medical setting
I'm guessing the most important lesson in such a school is to not get upset when morons start praising God almighty after you saved their loved one in a day long operation or something.
You know, I'd be fine with it if it was God who got the credit as long as he also got the blame, but when I do something good and they start thanking God up and down, while when I make a decision they don't like they start fuming that I am the arbiter of this darkness...
I mean I get where you're coming from, but in places that don't have a secular medical establishment it's usually spiritual practitioners that fill the gap.
My concern is that in my experience religious dogma and anti-vaxism tend to go hand in hand.
Also the whole abortion debate which is really something that should even be a debate.
Thankfully, the extent of the religion in the education is in the ethics discussions and strong recommendations to discuss spirituality and religion with your patients because faith communities are "very important". The religion does not make it into any of the actual medicine or science.
