Love this for all kinds of people! That genuine interest in their field is something I look for everywhere.

Once had a vet completely ignore me, greet my dog, and had to get a reminder from another member of the staff to realize/acknowledge that I was in the room too. Stuck with him until his retirement, he was the same until the end.

Though he did have a checklist his wife made for him some point after that first visit, which had as its first item - and I'm quoting here because he showed it to me after I had been going to him for years

Greet the HUMAN!

Its been a couple years since he retired, still can't find a vet as dedicated to animals as he was. Dogs, birds, turtles, whatever - if you could carry the animal in, he knew about it to an incredible detail.

Real Gs have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Until i cannot drink anymore to the point that I must bathe in it

If you're an adult, at your workplace and react/interact like this, something very important is still alive and thriving in you.

I would have so much respect for any doctor delaying my care for the sake of research

I honestly love that the optometrist stopped working to look up something just like we do!

This? Right here?

Is what human interaction is SUPPOSED to be like.

What neat little creatures. The Green eye also is bioluminescent. Have 3 short videos: https://www.mbari.org/animal/strawberry-squid/

I have to be frank here - no matter how cool this story may be, I was unable to make it very far because of the poor (read: complete lack of) capitalization and punctuation. It might be a me problem, but these things combined with it being a screenshot made this impossible to read without a headache.

My kid (almost 10) takes guitar lessons.

His teacher is cool. He lets me bring my guitar and learn alongside him.

All three of us, I should add, have wicked ADD.

Most classes start out like this...we both tune up, my kid takes longer...I start playing whatever 3-4 chord song I've been working on that week. Teacher doesn't know what song it is.

But within a couple of bars he knows exactly what song I'm playing and continues the song and we're just a couple middle-aged ADD guys rocking out.

It makes doctor-patient interactions a lot easier when you walk into the room with an understanding that it requires an autistic level of dedication to actually study that shit and memorize it all.

"Oh yeah your results say you're going blind, but why does it have a big yellow-green one and a small blue one? That's so weird..."

And you're just gonna make us google it too

Now, that's a doc we all need around! 🥰
