More From Hugh Laurie

Sunday-the doctor's paradise! doctors at country clubs, doctors at the seaside, doctors with mistresses, doctors with wives, doctors in church, doctors in yachts, doctors everywhere resolutely being people, not doctors.
Country Sunday Doctors
The doctor begins to lose freedoms; it's like telling a lie, and one leads to another. first you decide that the doctor can have so many patients. they are equally divided among the various doctors by the government. but then the doctors aren't equally divided geographically, so a doctor decides he wants to practice in one town and the government has to say to him you can't live in that town, they already have enough doctors. you have to go someplace else. and from here it is only a short step to dictating where he will go.

It concerns me when i see a small child watching the hero shoot the villain on television. it is teaching the small child to believe that shooting people is heroic. the hero just did it and it was effective. it was acceptable and the hero was well thought of afterward. if enough of us find inner peace to affect the institution of television, the little child will see the hero transform the villain and bring him to a good life. he'll see the hero do something significant to serve fellow human beings. so little children will get the idea that if you want to be a hero you must help people.

Song Clever Doctors
I suppose the doctor-patient relationship has that idea of transference. i think it's a special thing that doctors have. we all find doctors sexy. that's why there are so many tv shows about doctors.

It's important for all types of women to know that you don't have to fit a prototype of what one person thinks is beautiful in order to be beautiful or feel beautiful.... people think, sexy, big breasts, curvy body, no cellulite. it's not that. take the girl at the beach with the cellulite legs, wearing her bathing suit the way she likes it, walking with a certain air, comfortable with herself. that woman is sexy. then you see the perfect girl who's really thin, tugging at her bathing suit, wondering how her hair looks. that's not sexy.
