	While my classmates and I found the definition amusing, there was a
uniform reaction to this last line.
	We're spending 4-7 years working 90 hour weeks (and that's a light 
week), going a quarter of a million dollars in debt to get our MD degree and
medical licenses ...

	THE LEAST THEY COULD DO IS MAKE IT A FELONY.

And remember,
 "Comedy, like Medicine, was never meant to be practiced by the general public."
