“A man walks into a hospital urology department for a consultation on prostate cancer screening. The man, an executive type, makes it clear that he will only meet with the department chairman. After 30 minutes, he emerges from the chairman’s office; it is clear that the meeting has not gone well. It turns out that the man is upset the institution does not offer the advanced screening tools described in the Internet printouts the man is carrying in a large file folder. Apparently the man could not accept that the “digital” in “digital rectal examination” refers to a finger, not a high-end computer-based medical device.”
