Wow: This is the first column I have ever read in which a person holds politicians in higher esteem than doctors. I seem to remember that as recent as last year, being a doctor was akin to saintliness while politicians were the pond-sucking scum of the earth.

It appears the columnist, Marjorie Williams, is suffering from some illness. That's unfortunate, but I'm surprised she describes doctors as those who "talk more than they listen, and feel entitled to withhold crucial information", and politicians as likeable fellows.
