ADVERTIsem*nT
Believing in pseudoscience is often harmless, and ifit does affect anyone, it’s usually limited to the believers themselves. However, things take a different turn when those believers turn out to be licensed healthcare professionals who are supposed to actually help people.
As one Redditor shared, she found it wildly inappropriate when she discovered that her radiology station coworkers believed their patients were sick because of the so-called ‘bad energy’ they ‘put out into the universe.’ And yet, when she confronted them, they had the nerve to take it up with the managers. Scroll down to read the full story!

Being a pseudoscience believer usually does no real harm as long as you’re not a licensed healthcare professional who is supposed to take care of patients

All of the woman’s coworkers were into “The Secret,” which said that people get back what they put into the universe, implying that their patients’ illness was their own doing

Hey! I’m Dominykas, and I come from Lithuania. According to my diploma, I’m a UX Designer. However, when during my studies, I (re)discovered my passion for storytelling, I’ve been doing that ever since, mostly in writing. I have written a few short stories, some songs, and a good bunch of articles, and I plan to keep expanding on all these fronts. Aside from that, I’m also a film buff, traveler, casual basketball player, video game enthusiast, and nature lover who will rarely pass up on a little hike through the forest or a simple walk around a park.

As an X-Ray tech/ radiation therapist I am absolutely appalled by the behavior of my fellow "professionals" (I use the word loosely here). To all pandas out there: this is NOT the way we are supposed to treat our patients and colleagues. That said I will happily ask the universe for a parking spot and sometimes I get one sometimes I don't. I also asked for millions of Swiss Franks and guess what, I never got them 🤣🤣🤣 these people were gullible idiots in a position to harm patients! An absolut disgrace! 🤬

I can see the value of visualizing steps to do something. That can help memory and motivation. Imagining oneself in a desirable situation is just a nice daydream or fantasy or escapism or wishful thinking.

I had survived a surgery every 18 months for more than 2 decades, a broken neck, and the death of my husband when a DOCTOR in Missouri recommended that trash to me. It turns out I was also in complete liver failure at the time...which, when I moved to Oregon they diagnosed, gave me a new liver, and never once told me to 'be positive'. It's been almost 25 years and a lot of kind, sweet, positive people have gone but my sarcastic, cynical butt is still here. Attitude can help, but it's all just the luck of the draw.

Attitude + determination to live + dumb luck + just too damned ornery to die anyway = you’re not going to be on your way out for a while. Not to mention only the good die young—-but only because they didn’t get to live long enough to finally turn salty tell the grim reaper to go f**k himself.
