To Judge?

I interviewed a renowned back doctor for a brochure I was assigned to write. Out of the blue, he stopped and said, "I've learned never to judge a person when they're sick."

I thought, he must have had numerous situations where patients acted erratically and concluded it wasn't fair to pass judgment because they weren't themselves then.

I've extended the advice to include those who might be sick emotionally, socially, spiritually, financially, etc. It's not easy but it calms the judgment process and makes for better conclusions. Have you found the same?
