LOVE this article.
Favorite quote //Interestingly, of the medical specialties listed in Table 3, neurologists were found to have the greatest psychopathic traits. Could it be that the phenomenon of cross contamination is at play and neurologists are in fact driving each other crazy?//. Mirror mirror on the ward, who’s the most narcissistic of them all?
