Career Change THE BURNED OUT GYNECOLOGIST
A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and was on
the verge of being burned out. Hoping to try another career where
skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to change careers and
became an auto mechanic. He found out from the local technical college
what was involved, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently
and learned all he could. When the time for the practical exam
approached, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks, and
completed the exam with tremendous skill.
When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had
obtained a score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the instructor
saying, "I don't want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding
result, but I wondered if there has been an error that needs
adjusting?"
The instructor said, "During the exam, you took the engine apart
perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine
back together again perfectly which is also worth 50% of the mark."
The instructor went on to say,
"I gave you an extra 50% because you did all of it through the
muffler."
