"their own particular brand of surgery" = metaphor.Originally posted by DennyI thought IT technies had to diagnose sysytem malfunctions and perform their own particular brand of surgery by re-writing new code to bring an IT system back to full health.
As nurse, I could lend a hand polishing the screen and dusting the keyboard once the job's done.
"As nurse" - what's the connection with the comparison between a IT techie and a qualified doctor?
DP:Looks like just imagining it is a bit of a stretch for some.I think being a doctor of medicine might stretch some of the regulars here.

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).Originally posted by wendigo100Quote:

I'm sure that is true.

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...I think being a doctor of medicine might stretch some of the regulars here.
