So an Objectivist walks into a Doctors office...

The Doctor steps in and says "And what is troubling you today, Sir?"

Objectivist: "I'm just down - can't get enough sleep. I get every cold or flu that does around, and I seem to be losing interest in the things that I used to enjoy. Even my performance at work is suffering."

Doctor: "Well, that's simple. You have clinical depression!"

Objectivist: "Really?"

Doctor: "Yes, it's caused by a chemical imbalance in your brain, but don't worry, with the right antidepressant we can fix you right up. I am going to prescribe a well tolerated 'Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor', also known as a SSRI."

Objectivist: "WAIT A MINUTE! I've been here for only two minutes and somehow you have figured out I have a chemical imbalance, what chemicals are imbalanced, by how much, and what drug to prescribe to restore the balance???"

Doctor: "Well, what would I have to do to convince you of this?"

Objectivist: "Well, let's start with some blood work so you can show me some TEST RESULTS!"

Doctor: "On second thought, I'm just gonna give you a note for two weeks of stress leave..."


Cheers,
Presto
