Rogier van der Weyden's "The Deposition" (1435)

Crying is considered one of the time-honored pastimes in medicine. It is quite possible that crying in medicine refers to tears in joy. The occasions are few and far between: medical school graduation and surviving a black cloud call night. More often than not, however, crying refers to sorrow, sadness, and pain, hallmarks of the health care professional's experience.


Who Can Cry?


Everyone. In fact, a health care professional can only be considered as such when he or she has been taken to the brink and driven to tears. Crying, therefore, is a surrogate for another time-honored tradition celebrated in medicine: becoming jaded. Crying and its release of tears marks the slow transition away from being a human being into one of a jaded cog in a machine.[1] Though July interns] are notorious for crying, they are not the only types of health care professionals to do so.[2][3] When a health care professionals stops crying, he or she will also stop experiencing other emotions: love, hate, happiness, sadness, etc. This is most certainly achieved within 3 years of finishing residency, to be shortly followed by one of the following: suing patients for pain and suffering, seeking hospice, or quitting the profession altogether.[4][5][6][7]

Absolutely.[8] Pimping is another wonderful medical tradition. It is also known by the less popular term hazing.


Why Do Babies Cry?


The baby is either trying to say "I hate you!" or is experiencing baby fibromyalgia.
