Medical facts

There are about two types of medical doctors in the world

1. The kinds ones who tries to make the lives of other Doctors much easier

2. Recognition seeking ones who make things difficult for others.

Let me give you a rough comparison between the two different types

A type 1 doctor who discovers a new disease will name it something like : small cell carcinoma of the lung

A type 2 doctor will name it : Colles fracture of the distal radius. (Die die also want to put his name inside.

A type 1 doctor who discover a new principle will name it : compliance curve (one look at the name I can tell it's something to do with compliance)

A type 2 doctor will insert his name even for the most ridiculous law in medicine, eg. : Starling's Law (A stretch in the heart will lead to more recoil -> greater contractility -> more cardiac output) -- common sense la

A type 1 doctor who spots a new lesion will name it something like :

Orphan Annie eyes (just so you see the relation)




Or Staghorn Calculi.

A type 2 doctor will name it : Reed-Steinberg cells

Or Osler's node (when its redness on hand)

And what happens when they have too many type 2 doctors on earth??

Poor young medical students and other doctors from the rest of the world will have to suffer from their greed and pride seeking habits.

Names like : Churge-Strauss vasculitis, Reye's syndrome, Osler-Webber-Rendu, Erb's palsy, Smith fracture, Erloh-Danlos syndrome.

Wait till you hear this.

Mayor-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser. Simple means no vagina, ovaries or uterus (why can't they just call it mullerian agenesis or absense or reproductive tract?).

Jokers.
