    "their own particular brand of surgery" = metaphor.

    "As nurse" - what's the connection with the comparison between a IT techie and a qualified doctor?

    I think being a doctor of medicine might stretch some of the regulars here.
    Looks like just imagining it is a bit of a stretch for some.

    Plumbing or road sweeping is a more comparable occupation to IT.

    It is. Doctors are now making so much money that there is a queue outside each surgery of fertile young chav woman who ask to be shagged so as to get maintenance payments for her and the sprog(s).

    Let me tell you the story of a "Doctor" in a town oop north, who diagnosed a child with chicken pox three times. A question was asked of his qualifications and him and his whole family just disappeared into the night...
