I agree with you-those judging him on his ability to be a Dr just because he hasn't worn enough sun cream? Seriously? My DH loves a gin and tonic-does that mean he is a shit surgeon? No!
I genuinely don't get the correlation. Alex has a serious skin condition apparently but it seems has been very lax in managing it causing himself problems, even though he is medically trained. I'm not sure how that relates to liking a gin and tonic meaning you can't be a good surgeon.
Sorry, you'd need to explain the correlation to me.
