    Hello, I'm the doctor.

    "Doctor who?", you ask.

    Just the doctor.

    No, not that doctor. I don't travel through time and space. I travel through the internet to slap some sense into folks in need of my services. I analyse your stupid arguments, diagnose what the problem is, and guide you on the right path.

    But for this to work, you have to work with me, not against me. In some cases, the prognosis is hopeful. In others, not so hopeful. And in yet others, it's incurable.

    You may consider this my clinic.

    So, who's my first patient? :grin:

    Physician heal thyself. If this is not tongue in cheek what makes you think that you are qualified to guide others on the right path? Are you sure that you are on the right path? Are you sure there is a right path?

    I need a consult. Yesterday I received an unexpected token rhyme from Terrapin Station. See:

    "There is a rock, but no one is there to perceive it, because we all died an hour previously.

    Is there a rock? Yes or no?"

    What disease causes someone to ask such questions? Or is this a sign of health?

    It is a peculiar phenomenon known as thinking like a philosopher. It can be a symptom of ill health. Caution advised. Therapy may be necessary. Prognosis dependent on how far down the rabbit whole one has travelled, and how good one is at getting oneself out of it. Some assistance can be provided, but you must help me to help you. And I must help myself.

    There's no place like home. There's no place like home. There's no place like home.

    Mixed metaphors?

    The only people qualified to help you with your problem(s) are those who keep you locked in your room.
    I know, I know: you are the Doctor, not the one who needs a Doctor.
    Just be grateful for the computer and internet connection.

    No, no, no. You've got it all wrong. I know this because I'm the doctor. I can leave here any time I want, I just choose not to. The padding is very comfortable here.

    That's what all of my patients say. We don't want your medicine, doctor! We don't need it! It's like the opposite of hypochondriasis.

    Guy walks into the doctors office and tells him that his leg hurts really bad.
    The doctor does a bunch of test and then tells the patient "There is nothing wrong with your leg, it is just its age."
    "Dumbass doctor" the guy cries "they are both the same age and only one hurts"
