    Dictionary definition of Hubris: hu·bris (hybrs) also hy·bris (h-)
    n.
    Overbearing pride or presumption; arrogance: "There is no safety in unlimited technological hubris" (McGeorge Bundy).

    In its modern use, hubris denotes overconfident pride and arrogance; it is often associated with a lack of humility, though not always with the lack of knowledge. It is also referred to as "pride that blinds", as it often causes one accused of hubris to act in foolish ways that belie common sense. In other words, the modern definition may be thought of as, "that pride that comes just before the fall". Hubris often indicates a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence or capabilities, especially when the person exhibiting it is in a position of power.


    Yeah I think that pretty much defines this supposed Doctor that was previously mentioned. If I ever met this doctor, I would tell her that she's sickeningly hubristic right to her face, and call her a stuck up bitch. Because that's exactly what she sounds like.
