The Elite

"Cheekbones" is a word for the public and paramedics...and any self-respecting doctor or surgeon would sooner die of chest pains than utter that common word...or so said Dr. (Mr.)Evans, the funny little MaxilloFacial Surgeon who teaches clinical anatomy in a purple suit and a polka-dot bow-tie. We are members of the elite, and it is only right that the elite use a separate language that distinguishes us from the rest of the world...Hence 'zygoma' instead of god forbid..Cheekbones...'haemoptysis' instead of *gasp*...coughing up blood...

Oh and we don't do ''sensitive''..Priests do sensitive...and we cure priests of cancer...which pretty much makes us the next thing to God..:)

Is it any wonder that 98% of us come out of Medical School with an ego the size of China.......half of us are probably this close to founding a religion to worship ourselves...haha..and who can blame us if every single lecturer who comes in brainwashes us into thinking we are the ultimate...makes me think underneath all that pomp and blatant self-adoration, if doctors are actually the most insecure people in the world....why else would they need this kind of validation? or is this belief in their 'super healing powers' the only thing that gets them through 48-hour calls, 10 hour surgeries and million-pound malpractice lawsuits......

And can anyone tell me if ladybugs bite??...coz I seem to have a family of 6 ladybugs and counting perpetually stuck to my ceiling........and I dont want to take a broom to them in case they bite or shoot poisonous ladybug dots at me....
