Story:
Once upon a time there was this doctor who was magical. He was witty,
intelligent, sensitive, and a brilliant, brilliant diagnostician. He also
had the political skills of a precinct captain and tons of Irish charm. He
was adored by hospital staff, trusted by his colleagues (who often went to
him with their own medical problems), worshipped by his patients. In
addition to his medical responsibilities he helped the hospital where he
worked in its many administrative problems. His reputation and his hard work
brought many patients to the hospitals and its various laboratories. He
became an important part of its success. Everyone said to him that they did
not know where they would be without him. Then as the years went on he
contracted a disease which slowed him down. The bean counters at the
hospital said that he was now costing him money. The nun in charge fired
him. But look at all I’ve done for you, he said. That was then, this is now,
she replied.
