The Story of Mechanic and Cardiac Surgeon

A cardiothoracic surgeon took his Aston Martin, which was giving him a little bit of trouble, engine trouble, to the mechanic.

So, the mechanic said by evening he will have it ready.

After his hospital job, the surgeon went there to pick up his car. It was not ready!

The mechanic was swaggering around a little bit and he said:

Hey Doc.
Why is it? I do the car’s engines and you do people’s engines (after all it’s a pumping thing, you know). Why is it that you earn in millions and I just make a few bucks.
Come tomorrow, Doc! We’ll fix it.

So, the doctor looked at him and said:

Try to fix the engine when it’s running!

That is the moral of the story, how one can keep the engine running and fix it at the same time, is where it sets the two apart!

That was a little heart valve humor to give you a chuckle and make you think about two questions:

  • What is your market value?

  • How much the market is willing to pay for your service?
