career change gynecologist to mechanic
Posted: March 27, 2012, 7:58 am
A gynecologist had become fed up with malpractice insurance and HMO paperwork,
and was burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial,
he decided to become a mechanic.
He went to the local technical college, signed up for evening
classes, attended diligently, and learned all he could. When the time
of 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 wonder
if there is an error in the grade?" "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."
After a pause, the instructor added, "I gave
you an extra 50% because you did it all through the muffler,which I've never seen done in my entire career".
