Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Thursday, 2024.11.21
A Code Of Ethical Behavior For Patients:

1. Do not complain if the treatment fails to bring relief.

You must believe that your doctor has achieved a deep insight into the true nature of your illness, which transcends any mere permanent disability you may have experienced.

2. Never ask your doctor to explain what he is doing or why he is doing it.

It is presumptuous to assume that such profound matters could be explained in terms that you would understand.

3. Submit to novel experimantal treatment readily.

Though the surgery may not benefit you directly, the resulting research paper will surely be of widespread interest.

About Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud

Hello Java Zen:TOL Readers,

Who am I and what’s the story behind this weblog? No one ever believes my real story of having been stolen by Gypsies as a child, raised by wolves in a cave and currently on paid retainer to Paris Hilton as a dialog coach, so I’ve had to invent something more plausible to tell at parties and post on-line.

GPE - Cello

Paris is nice enough and easy to get along with, being unencumbered by the thought process as she is. But I’ve been feeling the need for more creative space. The kind of space where I could hone my writing skills and maybe even spark a little dialogue. Java Zen:TOL is that space.

I’ve been writing since I can remember and penned, or rather “crayoned”, my first book, “The Mouse Picnic”, at age 5. Building on this early success, I expanded my writing capabilities to include biochemical research papers, white papers, grants for non-profit funding, a critically acclaimed personality test (The Motivation Profile, ISBN 1884180000) and now this personal blog.

If the question on your mind is “What the hell do you know?”, start here.
