"Mr. John your elbow is a mess and you're going to need surgery""
"OK. What are you going to do?"
"I have no idea. I'm just going to go in and see if I can use your extra tendons and you know....see if I can fix things. Never really done it before but theoretically it should work"
"Let do it!"
That guy was a salesman.
He's got to be at least a little pissed off that the surgery is known as Tommy John surgery. How would you like to invent something and have it be named after your patient? It would be like Einstein's theory of relativity being named the Bern Patent Office theory of relativity.
Indeed - it would be like Alfred Wallace's theory of evolution being named after Charles Darwin.
(Foghorn Leghorn voice - That's a joke, folks - I know the Wallace v. Darwin thing is a bit more nuanced than that.)
I have a hard time imagining Foghorn Leghorn saying, "nuance."
New ants, Son. Ain't you evah heard of new ants? Boy, I say they're just like old ants, but newah.
That did it for me!
Good luck to the guy
