A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop. The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come take a look at his bike 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 on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and said, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just like new. So how come I make $39,675 a year, a pretty small salary and you get the really big bucks ($1,695,759) when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The cardiologist paused, smiled and leaned over, then whispered to the mechanic............"Try doing it with the engine running."

Nice. I like it

Wow. One million + for the cardiologist, aren't we getting a bit carried away. its possible, but how many people are really making that a year. Apart from that👍 👍 👍 👍

You mean CT surgeon I presume?

 

[Droopy Snoopy]

A gynecologist was tired of his work and decided he really wanted to become an auto mechanic. But it seemed foolish to close a thriving practice and go into a field he was untrained for, so he signed up for a night course on auto mechanics at the technical college.

For the final exam, he was required to tear down an engine and put it back together. He thought he did really well, but was eager to find out his grade. He stopped by the college the following day where the grades were posted. He looked down the list -- a 90, 74, 100, 85. He got to his grade -- 150 -- the only grade over 100. He went to the instructor and asked why he was the only student to get a grade over 100.

"Well," the professor replied, "I gave you 50 points for the way you took the engine apart. I've never seen an engine torn down more carefully. And I gave you 50 points for the way you put it back together. I believe it ran better after you had worked on it than when it was new. Finally, I gave you 50 bonus points for doing all the work through the tailpipe."

Not going to argue that a CT surgeon should be making the same as the mechanic, but the heart is generally in asystole when it is being repaired, no?

cute

Wouldn't that be a proctologist?

actually they're doing quite a bit with the heart still beating these days.

Somebody failed anatomy...or is going to surprise their girlfriend!😱

I'm kidding.

Surgeons and other technical fields also have a much shorter timeline than mechanics...

By-passes maybe, and that is usually done with small retractors that keep the part that the surgeon works on steady, in order to put the suture through. It would be a bitch to replace the valves with the heart beating. I am not sure that it has ever been attempted.
A CT probably makes $300K in a small town. In a teaching hospital probably $400.

I don't know about that -- more like somebody else failed zoology -- if you look at where animal tails tend to be.🙂

Sure-fire birth control, though

Not sure fire -- there are always freakish examples of anatomical connections that shouldn't be.

Are we still talking about ****ing a motorcycle exhaust?

"Try doing it with the engine running."

That...and ~12-14 years of post high-school education. 👍 👍 👍

In all fairness, if that's what s/he was doing, that's pretty impressive to be able to type so much with only one free hand.🙂

Only to you!😱

The difference between a cardiologist and a Harley mechanic is that the Harley guy works on more valuable equipment.
