Professional Idiots

People are stupid and professionals are worse.
Worse because they are accountable for thier stupidity, but rarely keep this in mind, and rarely get reminded of this fact.

POINT A:
Never give someone with a history of eating disorders a medicine that supresses the appetite. I know this, you know this, and the proverbial he knows this, but the professional she apparently forgot.

I don't care what reason she had for doing this, It's wrong. If I can see it, a professional should know it by heart.

Some people just don't want to think. Most often you find these people in professional positions where thinking is Absolutely neccessary.
This action is as bad as giving a suicide survivor a powerful depressant, or giving an opiate to someone who has abused Herione. For fuck's sake people! why don't you just slit thier wrists for them?
Better yet, give them an ounce of cocaine and some feathery wings. Tell them that the wings are magical flying boosters and send them on thier way.
I could understand this if our society favored culling the herd, but we do not.
We live in a society that values the individual, and does everything in it's power to save every life possible. If anything bad comes from this, it will be murder.
If nothing bad happens, it's as good as attempted murder.
Malpractice is a horrible stain on anyone's resume, but I wouldn't stop there. I would stuff them so full of pills that they choked, and know I was doing society a favor, simply by removing a threat to the vulnerable.
