(Patient):  "Doctor!  I don't have any money. I've been hanging around
             your office, using your stethoscope and your blood pressure
             monitor, leafing through your medical journals (taking some of
             them home for my own library), asking your nurses for free
             samples and bugging you for free medical advice.  It hurts
             when I do this!"

(Doctor):   "I have limited time and a number of patients with more
             serious illnesses and as your condition is not life threatening
             in any way, I advise you not to do that. However, if you want
             to research your condition in one of those medical journals and
             suggest a course of treatment, I'll try to set aside some time to
             analyze your findings and possibly write a prescription.  Then
             I'll also be able to easily treat the next gratis patient who
             manifests the same symptom."

(Patient):  "What unmitigated gall!  Why should I help *you*?  It's not
             my job to be a doctor.  Nurse!  Gimme one of those tylenol
             samples.  The doctor gave me a headache."
