Assignment Time

I'm totally bogged down with assignments at the moment so not feeling particularly inspired to write anything creative at the moment, however I did happen to come across a great quote which I thought I would share. To give you context I am currently writing an ethics essay on the subject of confidentiality and privacy in Psychology.

"Recently I have been both amused and concerned by a sign posted in the elevators of a local hospital that reads "Remember Patient Confidentiality!" as though "confidentiality", like an umbrella, might have been forgotten and I could go back & recover it from the hospitals "lost & found" Office".
(Baklar, 1996)

I think I may add to this entry every time I see a sign like this - or even add my own like "Careful of this crack, right here, don't fall down it", "Don't stand on a swivel chair to change a light", "Don't forget to breath" , "Smile, someone's most likely having a shittier day than you" or "Don't forget to clean up after you kill someone" or "Remember, the easter bunny is not real", you know, stuff like that, that's important to remember and without a sign, one might forget.
