The drawbacks of excellence

I have observed several friends, in recent months...  When you're excellent in some way, it's hard to convince people who don't know you that there's something wrong when you're reduced to being merely superior.  If you've normally got astonishingly-good balance and coordination, people may not accept that you've got a problem when your control is just well-above-normal.  If you're having hallucinations but are intelligent enough to recognize and discount them, observers may not believe that you're hallucinating.  If you're speaking coherently with a good vocabulary, those who don't know you may not realize that you usually function at a much higher level.

Also, some doctors are idiots.
