I never plan, set out to, or connive etc.
What I wrote was to share how advertising and even myself....so as to avoid being a hypocrite.
My calling card recently changed my profession to
Dr Bernard Cheong
Hypocrite
It was and is meant to be a joke.
Anyway, what brought this up was simple.
EVERYDAY...at my 30 year old clinic (I may have got years wrong,29 or 30)...I have some "people" who are not my patients asking for sleeping pills.
I avoid the arguments etc etc that will ensue by lying. I say: "I don't have any". Period.
But...it is a lie.
I tracked back in my head, and actually, I have lied to small kids about candy and teeth, etc etc.
You see...I feel bad when I criticized brands. BUT...it makes me a hypocrite. Because I did the same....I lied.
That's what I meant.
In medicine...I sometimes have to lie...to help. Maybe that's why.
