There's that claim out there, backed up by loose statistics, that there a lot more psychopaths in jobs like ours. And yes, even more among Surgeons. So, who here is pretty sure they have met or worked with one? Or are you one...

Lol guilty as charged...jk, I think. I don't think I have the awareness to see whether I'm a psychopath so really someone else would have to tell me...

I mean, you have to be a little different from your average person to be able to stomach slicing people open and dealing with the human body in the way that a surgeon does.. so I think it makes sense that there would be some psychos among us.

Lol please let me know where you found these statistics. I'm interested in taking a look myself

I can see why though. The high-stress environment of these professions can attract people with psychopathic traits.

My other half will agree with that. I can easily discuss an awful head wound or lac repair over dinner as he turns green and I forget that it bothers other humans.

Old floortrader told me once, never trust a market that is making new session highs or lows during lunch. That's not normal. This might not be a normal day; but we do need to rebound to get another opportunity into the short trend. So, count on it. The last draw is more suspect as it hasn't been proven to exist yet. So, we will see how we look when we trade 9855.75 on NQ.

I am so conflicted and not sure what to do. A company I wanted to work for was not ready for hire when I first reached out in Sept.

The company is a vessel for new ideas in healthcare helping their community specifically with seed funding, & launching their own programs. I have no idea what to do
