I was just talking with my uncle Eugene. He spent most of his life as a family doctor, but never really developed a successful practice.
Some said it was because of his bedside manner. The fact is, is not many people are comfortable with a doctor who answers every question with, "Hell if I know", "Beats me," or "Your guess is as good as mine", their thinking being that his guess should be more accurate, having attended medical school and wearing one of those stethescopes around his neck.
At least I still get me free samples of Xanex and Colace, though I could never get him to tell me what they are for.
