title: Emotions and medicine.
abstract: So could we rate ourselves, or be rated QA-style, by an 'objective' other, along a scale of five or ten divisions with 'inhuman' at one end and 'emotional basketcase' at the other? And would this rating be a constant, an enduring label of an aspect of our personality, or something more flexible that might vary with one's emotional resource level at a particular time? Does it matter? All, I guess, I really want to say is that it's OK for a doctor to cry when it hurts.
