13. I would think curiosity should be a necessary component of being in the medical field...

The body is such a marvel, and of course can be a source of suffering when something is off.

I'm very curious. When people have ailments, I'm happy to hear about them (if they feel like it, sometimes people don't want to talk) - cuz I'll learn something.

and we actually learn - in our educational system - very little about our bodies. Which I guess is why many people are happy to turn their bodies over to the MD and don't care about knowing anything.

that's fine, but for me - I like to know what is going on.

speaking of "talking about it", I'm a little leary of tonite going to an event, where a lot of people will ask what is going on. I appreciate people express concern, but I've been talking so much this morning to my father and my SIL, that I actually don't feel like talking about it.
