The wall

Today, the discussion about the wall made me think a lot about they way things are at my house. My parents are both doctors, so they have no "ignornace" on what could potentially be going wrong in the human body. My parents -- my mom specifically, I feel sometimes wish they had a wall again that had never been broken, because knowing too much causes them pain. For example, when my sister had surgery, my parents were both worrying about it way more than parents who are not doctors were, because they knew better than any other parent who is not in the medical field how dangerous that surgery was and what exactly could go wrong. I actually made this observation when I saw how the parents of the other girl whom had surgery that day reacted while their daughter was in the operating room as opposed to how my parents reacted. The other girl's parents did not have as full of a grasp on what could have happened. Another time where I see my mom, specifically, wanting to have a wall put up again is when I do not feel good, or my sister, or anybody in my family, because she has this paranoia of what could be wrong, when it is probably just something simple that someone who did not study medicine would worry about. Also, regarding the revenge, as I said in class today it reminds me of Jekyll and Hyde because of the alterego Jekyll had, Hyde, to perform all his nasty and sadistic satisfactions and revenges.
