When I worked as a service engineer for a Japanese car manufacturer we had a cardiologist with a minor complaint with his car giving us a really hard time . Could not be satisfied and wanted all the compensation possible . The engineer dealing with him finally lost his rag and said . " you surgeons are lucky ,when you loose a case the patient cannot complain". phone went dead and 2 minutes later the M.D. secretary rang to as the engineer to go to M.D. office.A Lexus mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor of a LX460
when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop. The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the garage, "Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?" The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I opened its heart, took the valves out, repaired or replaced anything damaged, and then put everything back in, and when I finished, it worked just like new. So how is it that I make $48,000 a year and you make $1.7M, when you and I are doing basically the same work?"
The cardiologist paused, leaned over, and then whispered to the mechanic... "Try doing it with the engine running.”
