You might take notice which your health care providers use.

In a survey of 242 healthcare logos (reported in his 1992 book The Golden Wand of Medicine), Walter Friedlander found that 62 percent of professional associations used the rod of Asclepius, while 76 percent of commercial organizations used the caduceus.

Don't do it for money. Do it for the sheer
pleasure of taking things apart and putting
them back together again.

[orthodoc]

Or for the pleasure of keeping things together in the first place.

But do it for the sheer pleasure.

In the doctoring business, there's doctoring, then there's the business.
Sometimes the business will screw the people they use, as often as the customers.

The music business has a similar problem.

This.

At this point, my husband is thrilled at the idea of going to underserviced countries with a team from one university or another, and providing care to people who don't otherwise have it. He has always felt obligated to stay home, stay safe, and keep earning money, because his first priority was to provide for his family and not do risky things that might compromise that. Now he feels like he can do the things that we all went into medicine for, in the beginning.

@xoB,

So you're saying that both professions have a reputation for giving people the business.

[xoxoxoBruce]

No, in both cases I'm separating the profession from the business. You know, those evil MBA types we've been warned about.

Doctors are notoriously terrible businesspeople. It's not what we trained to do; the business-oriented among us are the minority. These days, businesses hire doctors and use them up, throw them out, and look for fresh meat. I'd say business tends to give people (patients) the business.

God knows my experience working under a non-physician 'manager' was worse than the zombie apocalypse.

And .... I want to know how you guys post without your little green light being on, without showing that you're logged in. I've looked at the profile options and it's not there. So dish, guys.

[Pete Zicato]

That sounds kind of familiar. Now where did I hear that.

Green lights? You see green lights? I thought they were red lights. OMG! I just found out I'm red/green color blind! Look what you've done.
