[Prov1322]

As one who was married to "it", there was nothing, nothing whatsoever, that the doctor didn't know better about, including how to cook, how to sew, how to load the dishwasher, how to do what I did for a living, how to nurse an infant, you name it. He was a superior class of human— just ask him, or if he's unavailable (he usually was), ask his mother. I sure can pick 'em.

YIKES! Have only had the experience of encountering that version of KnowItAllAndIWillTellYouMD while in my practice and would walk away thankful that I was not relying on them for anything...

KnowItAllAndIWillTellYouMD

The ARROGANCE and HUBRIS always sets them for fatal errors in judgment. AVOID LIKE THE BLACK PLAGUE!!!

“Pride goeth before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.”

[Albion Wilde]

We often entertained his married doctor friends, three or four couples for a nice dinner, at considerable outlay of effort on my part. All the husbands and wives would talk and laugh around the table for hours. Then the next day one of the doctors would call the house phone in those days before Caller ID, and if I answered, they would address me by my first name, i.e.,

"Albion?"

"Yes?"

"It's DOCTOR KnowItAll. Let me speak to DOCTOR Wilde."
