Easier said than done, don't you think, llilly? Money makes the world go round.

WASHINGTON – A man wearing a “Limbaugh for President” hat was arrested today for breaking into a doctor’s office and inserting himself between the doctor and his patient. “I represent the government,” averred the unfortunate man as he removed a copy of The Weekly Standard from his undershorts and began making paper airplanes and shouting “You are cleared for take-off” before being forcibly removed from the premises by law enforcement. The man was later identified as a law clerk for Justice Roberts.RTM

I just describe the symptoms and the test results. They say "I have no idea what this is. It might be this, but it doesn't really sound like this. I'm sorry. I don't know what's going on." It's only at that point that I suggest possibilities from my own research, and at that point, they either say "I don't' know, and that's all I can say", or some say "That actually makes more sense than my original guesses - but I still can't say for sure." Man, I pay to see doctors - I want THEM to have a clear field to come up with their best shots at diagnosis and treatment. The last thing I'm going to do is cut them off and start arguing. But after giving them a clear field, if their conclusion is "I have no idea", I then try to give them thoughts to chew on, to see if it creates any kind of "Aha" moment for them.
