4. I am playing the clueless one
Which given that I'm a nurse, shouldn't be the case. But I'm a nurse in grief right now, so I give myself a pass. Could you PM me?

6. I'm a nurse who went through an amazing paradigm shift in 2002
I lost my religion over it. The religion of medicine. My innocence was shattered. I will read the information you sent. After I sleep.
