Poor Doctor!
A doctor and a lawyer were at a party. Their conversation was constantly interrupted by people asking the doctor for free medical advice. After an hour of this, the exasperated doctor asked the lawyer, “What do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you’re out of the office?”
“I give it to them,” replied the lawyer, “and then I send them a bill.”
The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try. The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills. When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.

From Gita
Krodhad bhavati sammohah
Sammohat smrti-vibhramh
Smrti-bhramsad buddhi-naso
Buddhi-nasat pranasyati (Chapter II-63)
From anger comes delusion, from delusion come loss of memory; from loss of memory comes loss of intelligence, and from loss of intelligence comes destruction.
Unable to discriminate, one acts irrationally, on the impulse of passion, thereby paving the way to moral degradation.
(Aids, impotency, Mind Control, Sexual Disorders, Syphilis, Venereal Infections)
-from “The Curative Powers of The Holy Gita” by T.R.S. Seshadri
