Worked in a hospital a long time ago. Older lady came in for hemorroidectomy and we were surprised that a local cardiac surgeon was on the case. Turns out he knew her from his early days as a general surgeon in a small town and she insisted he was the only one she trusted.
Time to remember that a white coat does not make a mortal a God. Doctors know a great deal and their observations should be taken seriously, but they are, inside that coat, just people, hopefully doing their best under the circumstances.

Perpetual loser Monty, in sickbed, wins the TLC of loser Doc Mathews, beaten at “Rock, Scissors, Paper”; seems like Karma….

So the doc that LOST rock-paper-scissors has to treat Monty?

To kick things up a notch, the docs could try Rock-Paper-Scissors-Lizard-Spock from The Big Bang Theory … (video available on YouTube)
