Oh boy, I’m so sorry. I had really good friends who were doctors. One was an anesthesiologist, another was a neurosurgeon. They used to talk about their battles with hospital administration and insurance companies. It ended up not being at all what they went into medicine for to begin with. Sadly, both got into really harmful ways of numbing their frustration and both are deceased. It was such a complete waste of intelligence and talent…and compassion as they both really cared about patients. I’m glad your parents are supportive of you and that you were able to get out. I don’t know how people can pretend nothingness happened. It is beyond me. Maybe Stockholm Syndrome? That’s a wild guess, though. I have no rational explanations anymore.
