We waz famous, guv!

The two old geezers (quasi) live at the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons

One old geezer was nodding away gently in the sunshine, dreaming of masks, vaccines and sawn-off doors, when the other old reprobate woke him up, shouting, “We waz famous, guv!”

The nodding old geezer thought some exceptional event had taken place. Perhaps someone had located the missing bottom of the doors in Scotland, or found a cotton wool mask worn at Halloween together with a pair of pantyhose, or traced the border posts between England and Wales, or perhaps we finally got hold of Matt Hancock’s wig. Or maybe one of our FOI requests got a straight, unequivocal answer?

Nope, nothing so exceptional: the excited old geezer was waving his Mac in the air and pointing to the website and newsletter of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, a body which “Since 1943, AAPS has been dedicated to the highest ethical standards of the Oath of Hippocrates and to preserving the sanctity of the patient-physician relationship and the practice of private medicine”.

So not exactly a body …
