"If a barber or a motor mechanic does shoddy work or behaves badly with his customers, he receives immediate critical feedback which forces him to reevaluate and improve either his work or his behavior if he desires to prosper in his trade. Doctors very rarely receive this kind of feedback from their patients because patients feel it may be dangerous or unwise to criticize a person in whose hands they have placed their health."
Drapetomania: When Fighting Oppression is a "Mental Illness"
by Dale Hartley for Psychology Today
"The refusal to adjust to inhumane conditions and circumstances, whether in slavery or in employment, indicates a normal and healthy reaction to pain, cruelty, or abuse. Characterizing oppressed people as mentally ill, as Cartwright did, is both scientifically wrong and morally reprehensible. Physician, heal thyself."
