Mike: Outlaw the practice of medicine.

I agree. It's about time they stopped practicing. Those doctors! They never make house calls. They never write. Plus they have silly in-jokes, like:

Q: What's a double-blind experiment?
A: Two orthopedic surgeons trying to read an EKG.

On the other hand, I know a doctor who added an extra hour to his 28-hour hospital call day in order to pray with a dying woman because nobody could get a priest at 4 a.m.

Some doctors, firefighters, some cops, some teachers ... the rest of us are mostly along for the ride.

Superfluously,
Eric
