Kyle,
The "when in doubt..." was one I used yesterday, when I was talking to
someone about the guy I saw as a consult for my pressure sore. I'll have to
tell Dad the "Surgeon's hands..." one. He was one of the best
diagnosticians in his day (before CT and MRI), so he's known a few of the
type who were brilliant technicians, but otherwise fit that model.

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.
