PSYCHIATRISTS
COMMENTARY ARCHIVES, 12 Oct 2009
A psychiatrist needed a plumber. He fixed the leak within 20 minutes and charged $200. The psychiatrist complained, "I used to be able to charge $200 an hour, but now with managed care, I can get no more than $100 an hour. How can you charge $200 for 20 minutes?" The plumber replied, "When I was a psychiatrist, I could not charge that much either."
