My theory is that doctor arrogance is a function of how many retard patients they're forced to see daily.
I think it's because they've power over life and death.  Fucks a person up.

The only doctor I know on a personal basis is the nicest guy in the world.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Your theory is flawed.

Thing is, it's the younger ones that are the worst, and they're the ones with the most limited exposure to patients.  The older ones, with their greater interaction with patients, are actually better.  On average.

That's directly due to French Fries technology.  Wendy's has gotten better, and BK's went in the shitter when they changed.

You know, women will always remain second-class citizens until they take it upon themselves collectively on learning basic automotive care fundamentals;  until that day, they will continue being rape victims by dealerships and mechanics.

BK must not allow a French Fries gap.

I had Burger King recently. 5 bucks for a double whopper for just the sandwich. Oy.

I  read an article saying that while for the last decade Wendy's has focused on diversifying their menu with more healthy options, BK instead "doubled-down" on being a burger franchise and catering to their core demographic.  Results of course is that Wendy's revenues have grown, while BKs have shrunk.

I enjoy BK's newest fries. If you can get them hot from the kids and felons running the joint.

I think the Double Whopper meal (large) is ca. €6.49 over here.

Yeah, doubling down on burgers didn't really make sense.  I prefer getting two double stackers over a quad stacker.
