I feel unfortunate to have a horde of prying amateur medical hobbyists who think they can out diagnose everyone from the local pharmacist to the Mayo Clinic. These amateurs seem to specialize in all branches of medical science. They're willing to diagnose everything from a head cold to the latest condition they read about on the Internet. I just dread the day when I might encounter an amateur proctologist. I just dread the day when I might encounter an amateur proctologist.
Amateur dietitians are equally bad.
I've been told I should eat grapefruit, drink wine, avoid grapefruit, abstain from any alcohol, eat lots of carbohydrates, don't eat any carbohydrates, and every other contrary opinion about food you can think of. Naturally, there are lots of people who tell me I shouldn't eat red meat. After it's cooked it's usually more of a grey-brown color. Personally, I think people should avoid eating meat that's green and, just to be on the safe side, stay away from other green foods like broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Despite what people may believe, based on the Super Bowl commercial showing Christopher Reeve walking again, there's no handy cure for spinal injuries at this time.
