This character is clearly on the spectrum with little empathy and unable to understand social clues or what is appropriate to say in delicate situations.
I'm not so sure she's on the spectrum. It's possible that she puts up walls to protect herself and has a difficult time expressing empathy because of it. She's also so determined to be the perfect doctor that she sometimes ignores her patients' wishes when they're not seeing eye to eye.
The misconceptionabout people on the spectrum is that they don’t have empathy. When really their version of empathy is just slightly different in the way the respond to it. Logical facts and rationality especially when great things are at risk is their way of empathy. The same thing with telling the truth, they believe telling someone the truth is more beneficial for them than lying to them to save their feelings for a brief moment, because in the long run, lying to them isn’t helping them. People on the spectrum look at the bigger picture, and in fact, the way they look at the world is completely different than most people. When the diagnosis is explained to you, you find out that the way we look at the world is very unique and full of wonder. In fact, most people on the spectrum feel overwhelming sense of empathy, and they can pick up on emotions. We just don’t always know the best way to proceed or handle the situation In fact, one might argue your comment lacked empathy. It sounds like you don’t know too much about people on the spectrum. Sincerely yours someone on the spectrum Ps I’m not saying what she did was legally right and maybe not even morally right but it definitely was the logical route which was fueled by her need to save the woman’s life so there is empathy there. She could be on the spectrum or she couldn’t. Either way there’s empathy there
@@jmcb00 A lot of us are also able to show empathy in the same way a person not on the spectrum might. Heck, for some of us, anxiety can even accompany empathy because we feel so much.
@@sadem1045 exactly. We’re not sociopaths. We have the ability for empathy and to feel emotions to the point that it’s almost overwhelming. We just don’t always know how to respond to emotions sometimes and even when we do like you said some of us to have anxiety about it
She doesn't shut down her feelings, though. She's quite passionate when she thinks she's right. And when that creepy incel dude goes off on her, she lets her feelings dictate her response.
@@yennefer440 Exactly. I think she is shielding herself from unnecessary emotions. You cannot experience and live every emotion projected by your patient. This is a quick sand leading to becoming an emotional wreck and being on prozac on daily basis.
Like Dr. Latham, the recurring character that is an Autistic, Dr. Curry may be an undiagnosed Autistic. There should be an episode where Dr. Curry actually is suspected of being an Autistic, gets tested, and is consulted by Dr. Latham, explaining Autism to her. Done right (there should be a real Autistic there on the set as a technical advisor), this would be a great episode on adults dealing with a late diagnosis of Autism.
People who distance themselves emotionally from such work do not have to be autistic. She treats this profession as it is, a profession. The less she feels, the better. Of course some stuff will be overwhelming to her like in the clip, but people like her are needed. You know the ones with clear judgement.
Her essentially telling a patient to K*LL themselves because they're and incel should have gotten her fired right then. It makes me cackle how horrible she is at her job, always hated this character. I genuinely think that her character is supposed to be some kind of anti-social personality disorder because i can't think of any other reason she would act like that as a nurse/doctor...
I like her too. Under this cold mask, I bet she is this kind of person who would call CPS after finding out one sibling exists only to give organs for another one. I can hear her saying to the parents of a cancer child "You are disgusting, you made your second child only for the spare parts for a sick one which at this point has no chance of survival. "
@@lubystkaolamonola529She clearly lacks any kind of empathy whatsoever. She cares about solid facts and results without ever consulting the patient she's treating. It's serious medical malpractice
@@53R3N1TY "She cares about solid facts and results without ever consulting the patient she is treating." Sounds like gold standard of medicine. She would be perfect to cure trans delusions with facts, and be brutally honest about results. And also she would not be emotionally involved, which could tear her soul apart.
@@lubystkaolamonola529 "Trans delusions" - says a lot about you. If you genuinely want to live in a world where doctors aren't empathetic towards their patients, that's pretty sad.
@@53R3N1TY Empathy and sympathy are two different words. With empathy you understand, with sympathy you feel. And empathy does not mean support of trans delusions. The role of doctor is to cure your body and mind. Trans care is not care is just a butchery of people with fragile souls and minds. If a child wants to be a pirate, would you want an empathetic doctor to cut off his leg, plug the eye and chop of his hand? I do not think so.
I mean I like her coz shes purely facts & science. Let people know where do they stand on scientific standpoint no bull shit & that they are doctors with obligation to cure patients not to argue with philosopy bcoz that is why there are there right? Seeking medical scientific base intervention.
As cold as Dr. Curry is, I personally do want facts and statistics when I or my loved ones are at the doctor's. I am not looking for hope or reassurance, I'm looking for a way to get better. So, she's kind of a "broken clok is right twice a day" kind of situation, I guess.
Have you until uploaded more of the videos clips I would loved to watch are mine faverourts of the show opera mine best once are the far right group once so there are when Steven Hay ran away from Johnny and Stuart that’s when Steven hay were hiding on the love boat. Johnny and Stuart stoped Steven Hay going to his best mates funeral. Johnny went to prison. Stuart smacked his own son. Stuart been pushed to his death over the cliff and all so plus Johnny and Stuart smashes the bike that’s would be great if you have got them
I don't think the clip where she yells at the incel belongs in this compilation. The guy was psychologically messed up, yes, but he was disrespectful and dangerous. He tried to murder someone because she would not go on a date with him. If I were her I would not have told the patient to kill himself but I would not have been calm either. Women doctors and nurses should not be expected to care for incels - if a man doctor or nurse is available to take over he should.
As a mental health professional, Dr Curry should have been more empathetic to this man. Yes, he did and said horrible things, but you have to have a thick skin in medicine especially within mental health. Most incels are not inherently bad, they're just very lonely people who have swallowed a bullshit idiology and lash out at a world they think hates them. They're kind of like gang members or cult followers. They need treatment above anything else. Any decent doctor should have reccognised this.
@@noneofyourfckingbusiness8302 She should have left the room instead of yelling. However, a doctor should not be forced into a situation where they fear for their safety.
@@noneofyourfckingbusiness8302 My point is, if you have a good reason to not want to be in a room with a patient you should not have to be. The guy hates women and he's already showed that he's willing to murder them.
@Bluebird Gems I know that you guys are able to defend yourselves. My sister is a nurse practitioner. Also, there's a major difference between a misogynist and a man who thinks women deserve to die.
I liked her logic and straightforwardness until it went way to far. Manipulating and lying to the patient to get them to do what you want after they've decided not to isn't acceptable. You can explain it, even in very clear terms, that their actions could have bad consequences. But you have to respect their wishes. She doesn't, repeatedly.
She is a funny character too . Her expression is too good.

more like psychopath or sociopath

What we call people who are obsessed with logic shut down all feelings and all emotions. I call them robots.
I call them people with autism but hey ho ignorance is bliss with people like you
She doesn't shut down her feelings, though. She's quite passionate when she thinks she's right. And when that creepy incel dude goes off on her, she lets her feelings dictate her response.
Feelings aided by the logic is a powerful mix, regardless of the order of those two words.
She literally broke down in tears in one clip

Elsa had a character development tho later on, i actually liked her later on.
I’m a proud Curry hater
Maybe Dr. Elsa Curry should go back to med school and stay there until she learns what it takes to be a doctor
i can see her flaws, but i have a soft spot for characters that everyone hates 😅😂
I hear that my friend. Dr. Charles should kick Dr. Elsa Curry out of the medical program
she only lasted 2 seasons lol
I like her alot
