To understand me, you have to meet me and be around me. And then only if I'm in a good mood - don't meet me in a bad mood.
As a medical doctor, it is my duty to evaluate the situation with as much data as I can gather and as much expertise as I have and as much experience as I have to determine whether or not the wish of the patient is medically justified.
That might have a lot to do with it, but you know, I probably don't show fear, but I suffer from fear like everyone else.
