I forget who it was - well-known writer - who
made the pretty accurate point that doctors were
essentially just plumbers (or electricians) of
meat. True, there are more variables, and a
wider variety of models, but essentially the
rules are the same.

Interesting way of putting it.

More accurate than the doctors would like
to think, maybe less so than plumbers would.

At Richard's cardiologist's, there's a little story posted at checkout
along with cartoons and such... about an auto mechanic telling his
cardiologist there's not much difference between what they do, so how
come the doc gets the big bucks... cardiologist readily agrees on the similarity, but then adds, I have to do my work while it's still
running... ;)

... At least the doctors find me fascinating...
