junkyard-bodhisattva:

my last patient, a very depressed and traumatized man with several chronic health problems, said something inadvertently and morbidly funny. i laughed really hard on impulse, a really belly-laugh, and immediately felt like i’d majorly fucked up. my patient looked at me quizzically and stunned and then laughed very hard himself until he cried. it was exactly what he needed.

i think i’m on to something.
