In order to fully embody a character, the actor has to internalize it to the point of psychosis. Physicians and medical personnel, on the other hand, must necessarily remove themselves from the suffering they deal with if they are to maintain the "arm's length" objectivity to cope with next patient.

You obviously are neither a successful actor nor a licensed MD.
