I don't have a very difficult job, but like other office jobs, there are moments that are trying. For example, I have to ask patients very direct, personal questions that the psychologist feels he needs to know. This is exceedingly difficult when I have to interview a muslim woman and ask her about sex or a blue-collared man twice my age and ask him about his education.
Imagine a dark skinned women, comlpetely covered from head to toe in garb except for two peeping modest eyes, and I have to ask her,
Choose which statement describes you most accurately:
a) I have sex as much as I used to
b) I have sex a lot less often than I used to
c) I no longer have sex
Imagine a robust, snarly looking man twice my age and three times my weight, and I have to ask him,Have you graduated from university or college? Okay, how about highschool? Elementary school?
The doctor will see you now. Keep in mind that he is the man that wanted me to ask you these questions....
