Almost-Doctor
They lurk among us. If you are looking for inexpensive healthcare, here are some types of "almost-doctor" you need to watch out for:
Examples

The nurse that just happens to live next door.

Getting your advice from books alone.

The CFO of a pharmaceutical company.

A veterinarian.

Anyone not familiar with current best practices.

A plant doctor.

Dr. Pepper.

Anyone like Joseph Wiseman (Dr. No) here that just sometimes acts something like a doctor might (or might not, as the case may be).

Just anyone that eats right and stays fit.

Just anyone that knows how to work the equipment.

Just anyone with drugs.

The least expensive doctors — especially the ones that are a) always available, b) friendly, but don't tell you much, and c) less than twelve inches tall.
