Guess he had enough iron in his vitamins for a while.

Nope, in the old caste system the Patels were landed farmers, as opposed to landless farm laborers, so, middle of the system somewhere. One of the Patels I’ve known *is* a doctor, but that’s due to having gone to medical school, he was born in the US, I think his parents were as well, his grandparents were from India. The other Patel I’ve known, uh, wasn’t a doctor, let’s put it that way. :^X

If true, and he has a healthy lung, he should be fine...you could run a marathon with one healthy lung and stay with the big guys doing it.

I was saying it tongue in cheek, but your reply got me thinking.

I did a search for the name “Patel” on the SC Board of Medical Examiners for the name Patel and Smith.

Patel got 224 hits.
Smith, a common name, got 452.

In little SC I suspect 224 is a pretty high count. But like you hinted at, the physicians I have known with that name all went to medical school in the US.

Amusing story: I was chatting with a kid of Indian descent. He told me that his father worked for Boeing in Cali and they moved to SC and live in the upstate. I asked what brought his family to SC and he told me they were pursuing the Indian dream and bought a convenience store.

Heh... having the kids follow in the parents' footsteps is a very old practice and not confined to India, but if India hadn't practice the caste system, they might have been the ones colonizing the Earth, instead of Europe. I blame Islam, btw. :^)

Makes me wonder why we even have two lungs.
