The Improbability factor
Is it cold in here?:
"Seventy-five percent of those studied reported having multiple obsessions". That was for young kids, dunno if it changes for adults.
masquerade:
All instances of OCD I have encountered have had more than one compulsion. So your doctor friend was just flexing a bit of I HAS A DOCTORATE muscle.
Rocketman:
A private space station in the 1980s.
Answer: Hanners.
Usopp:
Yar, I asked my doc friend and he says that persons with OCD have a single obsession, like being in a space that's clean or being in a well-organized room, and then have multiple compulsions relating to their obsession. I futzed my terms.
--- Quote ---I was about to say, citing someone as a "sawbones" brings to mind a doctor of physical ailment rather than mental. And when he comes into contact with the crazies, he probably sends them on their gibbering way to the psych ward (or to a well-qualified psychologist, therapist, or psychiatrist ^.^).
--- End quote ---
I meant sawbones as a casual term, although he is an oral/maxillofacial surgeon(face, mouth, nose, etc.) and he has had to treat persons with OCD.
masquerade:
The fact that he has treated them does not make him an expert on their disorder. He has treated something unrelated to their disorder, not the disorder itself, and has only made unresearched observations, from what you've said.
Being a doctor doesn't mean a person knows everything about everything. CASE IN POINT: Dr. Phil. :-D
