I think that the doctor's real struggle is trying to separate emotions and standards because he is trying his best to keep calm and be professional about the situation but his emotions overcomes his standards and therefore he uses his force to try to open the girl's mouth, the problem is, he was kind of enjoying the situation. The truth is that when we feel angry at someone we feel good when we get back at them, so I guess that is exactly how he felt at that moment, besides the girl was very uncooperative and stubborn. I can connect a lot to this story because of my personal experiences. I know how children get when they refuse to do something and I think that at this moment of my life I would have reacted as a the doctor did because I would have gotten so mad at her I would have lost my patience. But on the other hand, when I was little I always acted like the little girl. When I went to the doctor I made his(her) life miserable, I did not want to do anything he(she) told me. Of course, it was for my own good but at that time I did not know that. It happened to me specially when they took me to take a shot, I would never open up my arm, I always left it closed so he(she) would not pinch me, but at the end I had to, either by myself or by force.Saturday, January 31, 2009
