This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

Actually, “B” is a bell curve.

The axis could be reversed and have an interesting related implication.

There are certainly exceptions — I’ve known some extremely human MDs — but yes, there are also jerks in that field too (the latter in my experience seem to congregate around emergency medicine, but it’s too small and biased a sample to justify extrapolation).

is jerkiness referring to the person in need of help or the person who is willing to help? I think it could go both ways. If youre a jerk most people wont want to help you. but a doctor may be more likely to cuz theyll think you have a lot of money. or maybe she meant it both ways

The jerk axis also overlaps with the amount of narcotics consumed on a daily basis by the person in question.

Jerkiness as in convulsing (Movement). Like shaking.

Dan99iel has it right. I thought of MJF (one of only two people I know of with Parkinson’s).
