I will never understand why people automatically put doctors and
scientists on such a high pedestal. They're human beings, and all
human beings suffer from the same vices, whether they are doctors,
scientists, accountants, politicians, TV anchors, football coaches,
priests, teachers, farm workers, businessmen, or Wal-Mart clerks.
