Kendall, with all due respect to your dad, I'm reminded of an old wheeze
amongst internists that goes something like, "A surgeons hands are lean
and nimble, but his heart could fit inside a thimble." Another was,
"When in doubt, cut it out." A doc who knows his/her limits, whether
they be specialist or generalist, is worth their weight in titanium.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
