Nice to meet you Pink!

We all love beach! Can I know what makes you feel love about beaches.

@brightPink3614 Good morning . I took the very first personality test for leadership and I was quite tired while answering the questions. I got confused with the range of "strongly disagree and strongly agree." I see. that my score on jusgementess was 70%x I would like to know if I could take the test again . If you do not know if I can retake the test perhaps you coukd forward my request to someone who coukd help me , I would greatly appreciate thst . I am discerning and ii have the ability to be insightful . I am not bragging on myself I' know I have flaws. But I have had 50+ yrs of therapy and introspection . The following information is to state my case of not being 70% judge-mental . I understand you may not want to read all of my information that I have wrote and there may be absolutely no reason to read it. . Truly yours , My priority in life is to be a source of help and aid to others needs in the same as I help my very own loved ones. loved ones I come from a impoverished abusive childhood with 5 siblings with all different personalities and many different emotional & mental issues AND we are a very very close ( my brothers and sisters) my father was a alcoholic and when I was a very young child he beat my mom but he also quit terrorizing her when I was still a child. 50+ Years ago if you were an alcoholic you were considered a bum and treated with contempt , ridicule & mockery. I fellt great shane surrounding my dads alcoholism. My entire family were outcast and. Discrimated against for most of my young tender years . My siblings and myself were bullied too. The shame was almost unbearable . When alcohol became recognized as a disease it changed my life in so many positive ways , I was a young adult by the time alcoholism was recognized as a diseas. I always loved my father , He neverd used physical means as a way to discipline my siblings and myself. He never Yelled at my siblings or me. I have issues flaws and I admit to them. But at my age me having had a lot of therapy since I was a adolescent I have gained greater compassion . Thank you for your consideration.

@brightPink3614 Congrats on the MD. That's a lot of work.

Here's some good career advice for when you start seeing your own pts.

Don't shit on chronic pain patients. Take them seriously. Cause if you don't and one of them stabs you one day because you don't fucking listen, well.. Iin that case you deserve what's coming your way.

Best of luck with your studies!

Good luck with the program .@brightPink3614

@GlenM Hello! I'm SofiaT2000 (Sofia) and I'm from Greece! I'm really excited to participate in the leadership development program! The movie that I watched lately after reading the book was "Shutter Island" and I found it really interesting.

@SofiaT2000

Hey, Sofia! Greece is such a beautiful country. Here's a hot debate question: do you prefer the book or the movie? :p (I've never watched or read it, what's it about?)

@rebecca947 Hello Rebecca! Shutter Island is about a marshal who went to an island where there was a psychiatric clinic away from the world because there were only people with serious mental illnesses who had committed serious crimes and looked like a prison. The marshal was there to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a patient, but he seemed to belong there and some strange memories and enigmas made him discover some strange things about this island. The question is ... Was this whole scenario in his mind? You should see it, it's is very interesting and deep! <3

@SofiaT2000

Hey! Added to my Netflix list- thank you! Sounds super interesting!

@GlenM
