Sociopath? Me?

So I read a series of articles about a boy who died of a mysterious blood disease and, in discussing it with my cousin, realized that his first reaction was “how sad” while mine was “wow, that is really interesting! Also, bummer for the kid and his family. But dood! Mysterious blood disease! Greatest pediatric clinic in the nation stumped! How awesome is that?”
Now I know why I love “House” so much – the main character is the same way.
