Should we cry when someone dies?

Was reading my brother’s blog today and his latest post struck me. So I’m taking the liberty of pasting an excerpt here. You can click on the para to go to the full post.

what struck me was that in spite of the family members being so emotional, we as the medical students and drs had to keep a straight face and the most we could do was say, “I’m sorry…”
as i drove to dinner i was complaining about many things… but the thing that struck me was… why can’t we be sad? shouldn’t we? aren’t drs humans too?

Be sure to read the whole post right to the end. The matter doesn’t end with “aren’t drs humans too…”

*My brother is a third year medical student posted to Seremban, Malaysia.*
