"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.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
When Similes are Too Much: I'm on call this weekend and just had a conversation with another doctor's patient about whether or not I can give him a note to go back to work. I was trying to explain why there was no way I could make that judgement over the telephone. I wasn't getting through, so I told him it was like calling me up to ask me if he was dressed appropriately for work. His answer? "My clothes look OK." Sometimes, you just have to say "No," and hang up. posted by Sydney on
