Very productive.  Not.

Only one of the things I've seen in my time on Usenet is a creeping
cretinism that automatically assumes it is entitled to behave in any way
that it wants, and to acquite anything it wants on demand.  When it is
pressed for reasons substiantiating the need for its cretinism, it remains
true to type.  Very stupid, but consistent.

>From a medical standpoint we generally classify this kind of patient as DNR
(Do Not Resuscitate).  The only thing you should do in these cases is to
make the patient as comfortable as possible so they won't bother the nurses
with endless complaints.  Then, you must move on to the next case and find
out whether your skill is equal to whatever he presents.

Lather, rinse, and repeat.  It's no wonder that so many docs get into the
morphine.  So far scotch seems to work well enough for me, but I'll know
it's time to retire when I start lingering at the dispensary.
