- Hey! I think most internists would glady give the anesthesiologists the
- cognitive label if we could trade incomes! :-)

- As an internist, I learned a long time ago to stay out of operating
- rooms, even though I enjoyed surgery. The last time I was in one
- the surgeon threw a retractor at me. Those guys have absolutely
- no sense of humor that I can recognize. And I could never be
- an anesthesiologist - my taste in music to use on the boom box
- during the operation would never appeal to a surgeon.
