Almost-Doctor
They lurk among us. If you are looking for inexpensive healthcare, here are a few types of "almost-doctor" that may be able to help (to some degree):
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.
Joseph Wiseman (Dr. No).
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.
