I'm barely lucid, yesterday I wanted to choke the two guys outside my door clearly marked, "Quiet, exam in session," and I'm wondering why I'm not drunk, but it's over.
Why in the hell were the guys talking about Oil and Gas on MBE day? And damn, property is going to haunt me for the rest of my life but I fucking aced Sales and Secured Transactions and Bancruptcy baybee.
I think I'm going to ace this sucker.
I keep telling myself, changes will be coming. It gets me through the day. I don't even dare to think of the 'what-ifs.' I'm rather comfortable in the stage where I'm accomplishing things one step at a time.
So, is it July 28th yet?
I'm sure you noticed. How could you not. She's up to her old tricks again, you might say. Ranting and raving are truely art forms of mine. I percieve them as such. I was snarky all day yesterday. Perplexed that I wasn't more stressed though slightly guilt ridden. Just wait. Next week isn't here yet. Let's see how much bar study I can cram in less than two weeks.
By the way Spain was great, and Barcelona has officially become one of my favorite cities.
While it's certainly a comfort to know that in Pennsylvania there's a less likely chance that you'll will be run into by a drunk driver; there's also the unfortunate circumstance that there's no doctor-patient confidentiality, especially if you can handle your liquor.
Now, I'm not saying that the doctor shouldn't be concerned that this guy was drinking more than a 6 pack a day. I'd be concerned too if this guy was swerving down my street everyday and showing a history of bad work performance, etc. The thing is, he wasn't. There's more to it than that. What about confidentiality? What about due process? The guy hasn't had a conviction in over 20 years when he was a young adult, and he doesn't drive drunk. He goes in to the hospital for heart problems, confides in his doctor his habits, and the next thing he knows his license is revoked. What's next? 3 drinks on a weekend? 2 drinks?
While the state may have a legitimate concern in keeping drunk drivers off the roads, it shouldn't be at the extent of one's privacy, and doctors have no business divulging this information.
