That, of course, makes me wonder why a smart person who goes through college (4 yrs), medical school (4 yrs) and the whole intern/residency thing (3yrs)and gets that much smarter and well-educated chooses the specialty of Proctology.

And please, there is NOT enough money to justify that.


It's not about the money, Ray. No med student chooses proctology, it chooses THEM!

Maybe you'd rather have a venture capitalist from Morgan Stanley do it? No, no, a hedgefund manager!
