Interesting discussion with patient, #2397....
Early thirties, Progressive, married with child, well-educated....
She said all the right stuff about Trump, the country, the Republicans, Kavanaugh, you-name-it. she thought impeachment wouldn't be successful because of the Senate makeup and the whole Russia thing she had right on the money....
Wait for it...
so I mentioned my line that one morning, perhaps he wouldn't awaken.
She was horrified..."We don't do things like that in this country!"
Me: I wasn't implying that anyone other than Colonel Sanders or Ronald McDonald might "do something", but what makes you think that that was an impossibility - that TPTB wouldn't do something "evil" After all, we certainly did it in other countries: Chile, Iraq, Iran, and many others...
She: But they would NEVER do it here, its illegal and immoral. And there's nothing you can say to convince me otherwise.
Me: I wouldn't dream of trying. I don't try with the Tea Party people and I wouldn't with you.
I found it interesting that people have certain walls over which they will not climb.
I then told her of a close friend of mine who served in the Army. HE was also a real Progressive and lifelong Democrat who was drafted because he had left college. He was pro-everything that I am, we are extremely congruent except for one thing.
He did not believe in having gays in the military. Now he is all for gay rights, gay marriage equality, all the good stuff...except not in the military and you know what he said to me?
"You never served so you don't understand and there's nothing you can say that will change my mind so don't even try."
There's no real response to that...and no point starting a fight so in both cases, I said nothing.

Send one of the staff to check if there's a tRump sticker on their car. Bill accordingly.
