"I've got bad news for you, Johnson - we're all dead!" "I was distracted!" "Distractions can occur in the field! If you can't handle it, then quit!"

I have a very healthy diet so I hope I won't EVER need a doctor and I like dancing so I get lots of good daily exercise and I also am not into smoking or drinking except when it is a holiday or a birthday.

My other half was teaching at a med school. They pulled her Structure and Function course out of the cirriculum--to make room for History and Techniques of Golf, into the med cirriculum. The priorities are clear now.

Never go for any kind of surgery where they are working on two of a kind without writing on your body first with a sharpie! ie not this leg, the other one, dummy. Doctors are just human too and in my experience, a lot of them are really not very bright, even on a good day.

Doc was late fer the graduation ceremony at Med School. He missed some of the Hippocratic Oath.. The part that said.. "First, I will do no harm".. His teachers knew this might come back to haunt him one day.
