Sick Organic Chemistry Prof...

[freshbeatschris]

I should be distilling Eugenol from fresh ground Cloves tomorrow. Exciting sounding, huh? Anyway, my prof, Dr. S has cancelled class for the second time in a week due to illness. He called us personally this time. He's not the type of person to cancel class for any little sickness, so he's pretty sick, possibility of pneumonia. I wanted to send a shout out for health and get some more well wishes and good vibes (or prayers) sent his way. He is the best instructor I have had in all of my years of higher education (10 years or so).

Thanks in advance
Chris

I hope that your professor is doing better. I will send a couple of prayers to the man upstairs.

Yea. Someone with compassion. I was starting to lose hope... And this from people who are going into a profession that is pretty much based on human illness and the medicines that can help them.

Thank you for your prayers. They mean a lot.

Sincerely-
Chris

i thought you only need to be compassionate if you're a medical doctor? jk Best wishes to your professor, if you like an Ochem prof. HE MUST be the [email protected]#$s!

Yeah, well, this is a science forum ... I'm not sure you are going to find a high percentage of people who believe that prayer will heal the sick.

Right, Mike, that's exactly what I said.

What I am saying is that it's a bit unfair to say that anybody who doesn't respond with prayer lacks compassion.

I hear you there and I certainly hope that is not true, as I do NOT pray anymore, but I'd like to think of myself as a compassionate person.

If you look at my original message, and mabye the intent was lost in translation, I was just looking for well wishes and kind words for him, whether they be in the form of prayer or not is completely up to the individual.

Maybe I was just looking to get more human connectivity from this site because I feel as though it is very statistically oriented. It's definitley helping me learn more about myself and the type of pharmacist I want to become.

Gotchya ... in that case, I wish to express my wish that all goes well for him.

just because people didn't respond does not mean that they did not think of your professor

My last semester ochem professor is sick too... he got diagnosed as diabetic He's trying to lose weight, and every time I see him he's skinnier... but I'm sure he'd appreciate the well-wishing too.

I really hope your professor starts to feel better soon!

I wish the best to your O. Prof the best as well. Diabetes is a tough one to get in control of, lots of life changes involved.
