Have you ever started talking to someone, only to find out that they throw amazing accusations and lies at you? I have had a patient say “You are FORCING me to use heroin.” It’s a bit disconcerting.
Imagine this in a debate. I can leave the room and end things in clinic. I can ignore family members that tell made up stories about me over and over. They want to believe what they want to believe. They don’t fact check. Aren’t you glad I don’t do that with people in clinic? Make stuff up? I don’t want a doctor who does that nor a president.
I don’t find it “presidential” to spend an hour and a half snarling lies, false blame and accusations. That is not leadership.
I am not voting for the biggest liar on the block.

I’m not voting for that either.
Impossible to have a sensible debate with that man.
What a silly accusation. You’re a doctor not the local drugs lord! That person is surely choosing Heroin over something safer.
Shamefully we live in a world being destroyed by greedy liars, don’t we?
It does shut me down for a moment though, because how do you respond to crazy?
Exactly, in whatever way you respond, you stand a chance of making things worse, don’t you? In your case, my next action might be to tell them to find another doctor for a second opinion. That keeps you safe at least.
You don’t. Any addict (as I’m sure you know) is happy to find something to blame.
