bad rap

The things we become known for aren’t always what we’d like to be known for. Reputations are hard to run from. Sometimes they’re not even deserved. So here’s your chance to set the record straight. Clear up some misplaced assumptions, debunk any rumours about yourself and defy your stereotypes.

how to play:

Top level with something(s) your character is tired of people assuming about them, blaming them for, or pigeonholing them about, etc. Say it in person or over text.

Comment on any surprising, or not so surprising declarations.

I agree you're not uptight, but please make sure you spend at least some time not working! I've treated many patients who've overworked themselves into very bad health.

Ah - you're a doctor? I plan to go into medicine myself after high school.

I am! I'm a general practice doctor, but I also have a specialty in pediatric medicine. And as a doctor, I wish people would take time for themselves - self-care isn't selfish, it's preventative care, which is invaluable to patients!

As an athlete, I have to agree. There's nothing heroic about risking permanent damage to your health for the sake of short-term superhuman performance, at least in my opinion.

Finally, someone who understands me. One of the most frustrating parts of being a doctor is that I can't keep people from making decisions that negatively impact their health... but, even so, it's all worth it when I can help them feel better, you know?
