OT-Carreer Change Time

[Guest guest]

A surgeon had become fed up with malpractice insurance and was on the verge

of being burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands

would be beneficial, he decided to change careers and become a Harley

mechanic. He found out what was involved from the local technical college

and signed up for evening classes, attended diligently, and learned all he

could.

When the time for the practical exam approached, the surgeon prepared

carefully for weeks, and completed the exam with tremendous skill. When the

results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of

150%. Fearing an error, he called the instructor, saying " I don't want to

appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I was wondering if

there had been an error which needed adjusting. "

The instructor said, " During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly,

which was worth 50% of the total mark. You put the engine back together

again perfectly, which is also worth 50% of the mark. "

The instructor went on to say, " I gave you an extra 50% because you did all

of it through the muffler!
