Crucial Life Decision Hypotheticals

Crucial Life Decision Hypotheticals

1) Suppose you've been diagnosed with a serious medical condition which would require an invasive high risk surgical procedure within the immediate future. 2) Suppose you've been subpoenaed in an unexpected criminal litigation for some alleged unlawful act which would in all likelihood require multiple high level court appearances.

In the first instance, will you seek the most qualified and credentialed surgeon available or will you decide to perform the procedure yourself at home relying on your basic medic training in the army? In the second instance, will you work your professional contacts for referrals of an accomplished defense attorney specialized in the field of the criminal allegations against you or will you decide on a heroic effort of self representation? Other options? (to be continued)

1) Suppose you want to feel accomplished and superior to others. 2) Suppose you don't want make any of your moral or ethical decisions yourself.

In the first instance, will you seek out an organization that will tell you that you are superior, with minimal effort required on your part, or will you attempt to become superior and accomplished through your own efforts? In the second instance, will you get referrals for an organization with a long history of absolving people of the requirement of making their own moral and ethical decisions, or will you find your own way of avoiding these decisions?

I would go for getting expert experience and advice in both cases, preferably backed by evidence of previous successes: I'd obviously avoid the likes of Stanislaw Burzynski!

So no charlatans or quacks need apply. Okay. Christopher Hitchens said that "The essence of the independent mind lies not in what it thinks, but in how it thinks." I always thought you exemplified this description; then you preface your statement with: "I'll feed the troll." Does this refer to a Goldfish or Parrot named "the troll" or were you qualifying your statement?
