[gameprogrammer] Re: Good questions

Snip>>The first thing they did when they got me on the table was to
        do an angiogram that showed that all the previous tests were
dead    wrong. My trust in doctors is at an all time low!


That, Bob, is why they call it "practice" . . . No matter how much they
think they know, the more practice they need.  That is why I call them
"Quacks", sounds better than "Docs".  Interestingly, your case is just
the opposite of mine.  They would examine me and send me home, "You're
Okay".  Finally, one day I got home from the lab, told my other half I
did not feel well and off we went to the local emergency clinic. After a
heated discussion the other half and the "Quack" hospitalized me because
people in my condition normally survive the night. At the hospital, a
specialist arrived, and we spent the night having fun...they had the fun
while I was probed, prodded, drugged, and generally made even more
uncomfortable than I already felt. When daylight was as bright as it
would get he delivered his opinion like this: "I don't know why the test
don't show extremely abnormal results.  However, I have placed your name
on the transplant list."  Then he proceeded to explain to me the
benefits of regular physical exams, placed me on a diet of drugs and
"good food".

Anyway, before that I use to run a lot.  Sometimes just for fun, I'd jog
up to 26.2 miles. It beats exercise machines.  The end of the story is,
nearly a year later I got a transplant.  I can't run anymore. The thing
is, the other half bought us a Nordic track over 20 years ago.  It is
still in unused condition.  I can't watch paint dry. So for good health
I tend to hang my belly over the edge of a laptop, lean back in a easy
chair and compute away.

One last thing.  Live long, live health, and enjoy whatever you,
wherever you do it, with whom ever you do it.
