And on and on

One of my Esteemed Colleagues was lamenting to me that the Moronic Nursing Student has now appeared in this blog more often than him.  I say to him, "Good sir, thank your lucky stars.  For the Moronic Nursing Student is my arch-nemesis, and were your deeds to match his in infamy your brain would be in a most parlous state, unfit for the practice of medicine."

Meanwhile...

People are so stupid.  The number of people who say to me that they don't like to take medication because they don't like chemicals is incredible.  Don't they realize that everything is made out of chemicals?

PTR
I suppose not.

And people who want to take herbal remedies because they're natural and organic but won't take medical drugs.  Don't they realize that the definition of organic is that it contains carbon?  So all drugs are actually organic?

PTR
What about lithium or gold?

Moronic Nursing Student
(puzzled) They're natural.

PTR
But they don't contain carbon.

Moronic Nursing Student
No, but they're natural.  God people can be so stupid.

It is peculiar that you care so much perhaps we can call you a Snarky Bastard.

This totally counts as a mention for me as well by the way.

I thought you'd be happy with that.
