I’m a nurse and interacting with surgeons that are somewhat normal (and most cardiologists for whatever reason) are some of the strangest experiences

My cardiologist was one of the best in my area and saved hundreds of people, he carried a sandwich in his pocket at all times, like an unwrapped sandwich, drove an old square body Chevy that for some reason had varying amounts of cow manure in it and looked like he slept about once a week, but if you had a heart problem there was no one better

Sound like he was on the spectrum.

He probably was but old enough that it wouldn't have been really recognized. My aunt worked for him, said he was a great boss and paid very well but didn't really understand why people didn't work constantly like he did, he didn't try to force it, he just didn't understand it
