A MIXED BLESSING
(Posted 2010-05-19 17:33:20 by ArchPaladin)

When I take the T, if I am not falling asleep I usually end up spending
time watching people.  The T is a good place for that.  I also get the
benefit of practicing the observation portion of my diagnostic skills -
picking out the shape of people's faces, or what emotions read on their
face, or noticing which muscles have acquired creases from use.

Today I saw a woman who had considerable makeup on to cover two bruised,
slightly puffy, discolored areas around her eyes.  I don't know for sure,
but I suspect domestic abuse.

Sometimes I think it is better not being able to see such things, but only
because in seeing it becomes real.
