    Actually why am I assuming the doctor is a guy?

    Not because doctors are automatically guys, but greentexters often are.

    Maybe this doctor could prescribe herself some E? I don’t know. I’m not allowed to practice medicine.

      4chan user and used a drawing of a male doctor. I guess they could be in denial, but it’s poor form to assume if there’s not a really good reason to do so.

        Sometimes I reply to my own comments if I have something more to add. I do this in verbal conversation as well, a technique called “say more stuff, provide context, finish making the point.”

        It just feels more natural than editing.

      It’s generally poor form to prescribe yourself medication. Some call it taking liberties. Others a fireable offense. I just call it cool as hell

      Afaik in most places doctors are not allowed to prescribe things to themselves.
