Years ago I had a heart doctor who saved my life with a daring angioplasty busting through 100% blockage which left him guessing where to punch through. I was awake watching it on the monitor. He told me he was afraid of going through the vessel wall but we agreed he should go for it. Later in his office he told me about another patient, a woman whose life he said he'd saved much more dramatically. Afterward she was in his office talking to him and started looking around. "Do you have a Bible here?" she asked. "No." he said. "Are you a Christian?" "No. I'm Hindu." "What about your partner?" "He's Jewish." "Oh - you can't be my doctor. Neither can he. You're both going to Hell."
