Polite Dissent

After visiting a variety of creator message boards and reading Fanboy Rampage daily, I started wondering what it would be like if the fanboy mentality took root in other professions. For instance, what if famous doctors had their own message boards complete with fawining fanboys, sycophantic medical students, and other hangers-on?

doc_scott: Every antibiotic since penicillin has been overrated. They’re all just pale imitations. So I’m going to ignore them all and just go back to penicillin.
dr_yes: Yeah. Great idea!
sawbones116: The Sanford Guide hasn’t recommend penicillin as a first-line agent for years.
doc_scott: That’s because it’s written by hacks. They don’t understand my genius. My use of penicillin will be the definitive antibiotic.
dr_seuss: Dr. Midas from Harvard says that penicillin is a useless drug now.
doc_scott: He’s a quack!
smithers: He hasn’t had a good run since he was editor of the New England Journal.
toady: Those issues were overrated.
dr_yes: yeah!
squirrel_boy: Can you believe he actually recommended bisphosphanates for osteoporosis?
porkys16: LOL. That run was so overrated. They’re not even worth anything now.
flash_137: You couldn’t give them away.
dr_yes: yeah!
dr_seuss: What about what the Surgeon General says?
smithers: Who is the Surgeon General now anyway?
toady: ????
doc_scott: IMHO there hasn’t been a good Surgeon General since C. Everett Koop.
smithers: What about Joycelyn Elders?
dr_yes: Yeah!
flash_137: Date her.
porkys16: Date her.
smithers: Marry her.
