Soft Shell

I must be going soft.

I am very big on personal responsibility and accountability. That is why I get bristly when I come across patients who, through poor lifestyle choices and non-compliance, jump on the dole by way of taxpayer funded healthcare.

Lately though, I have started to be less angry and more full of disgruntled pity.

Should I be continually pissed off to see my tax dollars pay for people who don't care enough about his or her own health to be compliant, lose weight, stop smoking, drinking, or consuming drugs?

Or should I be filled with unbridled pity that these people won't  live out the decade?
