Sorry if you think that was worthy of a spoiler shield. I guess I didn't consider it so, but I'll edit it. It wasn't a huge plot point I was referring to, just a moment when Paul put his patient ahead of family. This is the thing his wife Kate hated him for, and which contributed heavily to her leaving him.
I'm just saying that I think there are some professions where it is necessary to put patients or family before family because emergencies arise, and here was a concrete example of it with Paul. The list of professionals includes therapists, medical doctors, police, EMTs. Members of all these professions have a high divorce rate, too, I believe. But their spouses should understand how critical these jobs are and how much dedication they require.
I think you're right that helping his patients Paul heals himself, he has huge issues of his own. He does avoid his family because he's better at dealing with patients than dealing with normal people. But still, he's in a profession where he has a good excuse.
