The career I could never do

"Blogging Circle of Friends Prompt Forum"  Prompt for December 11, 2012: What's one career you just could never do?

I could never be the doctor informing a husband, wife, daughter, or son that his or her spouse or parent had Alzheimer's disease. I could never tell them that, while present medications may stay the progress of the disease for a little whiles there is no cure. I could never tell them that eventually they will see their loved one lose control of all his or her bodily functions. I could never tell them that their loved one will eventually forget who they are, will become angry and attack them because for no apparent reason (except in the patient's mind). I could never tell them that their loved one will accuse them of poisoning him or her because the patient thinks the medication they are giving their loved one is poison.
