While empathy is popular these days, I'm not sure how useful it is.

I would rather have a doctor attending me who knows how to fix my broken leg than one who knows how a broken leg [b]feels.[/b]

@Mamapolo2016 a doctor, yes. But maybe you'd have different expectations from say, a psychotherapist

@basicgirl12 Not if the non-empathetic psychotherapist knew how to fix my broken mind.
