odd. . .

[Paul Pless]

I quit being a jeweler and became an amateur gynecologist. Later I used those skills in auto repair...

There is nothing odd about it, maybe he just liked looking at pretty things and was always curious as to how some things worked..

[willmarsh3]

Not too terribly odd for this forum :D :D

[Rich VanValkenburg]

Ha! I read that with a grin, too. I think most of us were amateur gynecologists at one time in our lives.

I knew a gynecologist that ACTUALLY retired/sold his practice to become an auto mechanic.

He actually is an amazing mechanic to this day.

Why? He can actually rebuild an engine through the tailpipe. :D

[Paul Pless]

Sure he wasn't a gastroenterologist?there does seem to be a bit of confusion here. . .

[Mrleft8]

At least he didn't claim to be a neuropsychopharmacologist.

I have a friend who is a neuropsychopharmacologist. Back when I was a visual psychophysicist, we used to go around introducing each other that way. Fortunately, neither of us was looking for dates.

I just like saying "Neuropsychopharmacologist".... The only one I know (knew) is in prison for insurance fraud....

The Mechanic
A gynecologist was getting sick of his job and decided that he needed a career change. He'd always enjoyed tinkering with engines so thought he'd become a marine diesel mechanic.
So he went along to marine mechanics school and the final test was to strip the diesel engine completely and reassemble it - obviously back into perfect working order. So our gynecologist friend did the test and anxiously awaited the result.
The day he received the results he got quite a surprise, he got 150%! He quickly phoned the instructor and queried the mark.
The instructor said, "No no that's right. First I gave you 50% for stripping down the engine-a very thorough job. Next I gave you 50% for reassembling it - a fantastic job really. Then I gave you a 50% bonus for doing it all through the exhaust port."

Like Brad said.

[katey]

My friend has found that a PhD is not good enough, so she's back in school getting a pharmacy degree in the hopes of actually being employed (with health insurance) when her husband (who has MS) can no longer work.

This could end up being a deep subject that will involve pages of posts, and we may never get to the bottom of it.
