Hanging out at the cardiologist office • click to embiggenMan .... it would be so much easier if you could just go the the cardiologist, heart in hand, and drop it off for a tuneup or repairs. Then they could just call me when it's ready and I could pick it up.

Well that scene looks a little too familiar. Actually, what I've always dreamed of is a device like Dr. McCoy has in Star Trek. You know, the "magic wand" thing that he waves over the top of you and makes everything "all better". No fuss, no muss, no bother. I'm not holding my breath waiting for that day, though.

A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop.

The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?"

The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I make $40,000 a year and you get the really big bucks ($2,000,000) when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the mechanic...
"You try doing it with the engine running."
