Smile for the cameras

Two times since I have had this mental health existence, I must admit I have encountered a symptom in the general population that I alike to eating fruit with a canary in your nostril.  I must say that I have encountered two physicians, one my treating physician, a neurologist consulted to discuss my sleep irregularities and one a physician in my surgical program that upon knowing "who I am" received me with frigidity and disease fearing anathema.  I found this to be amusing but quite scary.  I know who you are.  I know that inwardly, I believe you are frightened that I may be contageous.  I saw it in your face.
