Medical Test

 I have a medical test today. 

The memorable observation by Mel Brooks comes to mind: "Zero [Mostel] would rather eat a broom than go to a hospital."

My own preference with any medical procedure would be to be knocked out in the parking lot, carried into the hospital for whatever treatment, and then later carried back to my car where I could then be driven home.

Even better, of course, would be the Star Trek medical exams where the doctor merely waves a wand in front of you to deduce your condition.

Perhaps that is closer than we think. Computers are used to diagnose automobile problems. I expect that we will eventually reach the point where medical clinics can link the body to artificial intelligence for an overall diagnosis.

In the meantime.

Jean,

You are very kind. It turned out very well indeed.

I am home recovering, drinking decaf coffee, and thumbing through books.

Best wishes,

Michael
