As doctors, we're trained to be skeptical, because patients lie to us all the time. The rule is, every patient is a liar until proven honest. Lying is bad. Or so we are told constantly from birth. Honesty is the best policy, the truth shall set you free, I chopped down the cherry tree. Whatever. The fact is, lying is a necessity. We lie to ourselves because the truth... the truth freaking hurts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Derek: What is your problem? I'm your boss. What's the matter...
Cristina: No you're not my boss right now. We're in an elevator. That's your specialty right? McDreamy moments in elevators.
Derek: Dr. Yang.
Cristina: You know just for a moment, I'm not Dr. Yang and you're not Dr. Shepard. You're the guy who screwed up my friend. The guy that drove her to get a dog she can't keep. The dog she only got because her boyfriend lied to her.
Derek: I never lied to her!
Cristina: You know what - I know a liar when I see one because I'm a liar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ No matter how hard we try to ignore or deny it, eventually the lies fall away, like it or not. But here's the truth about the truth. It hurts. So we lie.
