"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.

Hippocrates' Descendants: Greek doctors have been conning British tourists. Does the sting of imperialism last this long? Or is it just tourist fatigue?
One of my colleagues once practiced in Maine. I asked him once why he left, and he said he got tired of having to "bend over and kiss the butts" of all the wealthy summer residents. (Wanted house calls, demanded more than their fair share of time, etc.) And he's someone who is usually over-accomodating to his patients.
