DEAR ABBY: The letter from "Harassed M.D." reminded me of a joke I heard years ago:
A physician and an attorney were discussing the problem of people seeking their professional opinions at parties.
"What do you do?" asked the physician.
"I usually give them the information and then send them a bill," replied the attorney.
Five days later, the physician received a bill in the mail. -- KATHY JOOSTEN, LOS ANGELES
