Hey Deservant listeners, today I'm going to read patron emails and I'm going to introduce the podcast first though.

This is called the Psychology in Seattle podcast. I'm your host, Dr Kirkconda, I'm a therapist and a professor. I thought that this email was actually relevant to today,

so I thought I'd read it. This is an email from an anonymous patron, she writes,

so here's what's up. I'm very sick. Oh, by the way, this email came

months ago, I think, before the coronavirus thing. So anonymous patron, she writes. So here's what's up. I'm very sick, a horrible sinus infection.

Typically when I get sick I get angry.

Basically, I'm thinking, who's done this to me type of thing. I will hate on people when I'm sick such as if you're sick stay home or

everyone knows that you should cough or sneeze into a tissue and when that's not available do it in the crook of your elbow.

Steezing into your hand is no good since you can go around touching things like keyboards and

door knobs and so on. My best friend who was now

deceased had muscular dystrophy. If he got sick it would get life-threatening.

Several times he quit breathing and had to be taken to the hospital and revived.

Despite illnesses threatening his life several times, we could not get some of his friends

to wash their hands after using the bathroom, then bringing him food or drink.

I was listening to this other mental health professional talk about everyday sadists.

And I remember this person who, when they got sick, would go around licking everyone else's

coffee cups to get them sick too.

Are these types of folks everyday sadists?

Or in short of framing of the question do everyday sadus keep

their illnesses to themselves I wouldn't think so so it's a perfect opportunity to

watch others get sick and suffer.

Therefore, do everyday sadus help spread the disease?
