Fish. Barrel. Shoot. Repeat: Fred Hassan, Irony Division


I will now only very rarely return to the original animating motivation for this blog -- but today is an exception. Feel free to read no further, if you are not a fan of snark.

From time to time, ex-Schering-Plough CEO Fred Hassan drops smallish "twitter-turds" into what he calls a micro-blog -- and those are carried via the WSJ media empire [my condolences to Ed]. Most are just. . . inane. But this one is so flooded with irony. . . I just must reprint it, in full:

. . . .FRED HASSAN: Doctors advocate diet and exercise, yet many are poor role models themselves. Many rush to work without their daily exercise. Others do not watch what they eat. During a field trip, I saw a cardiologist wolf down a greasy lunch even as he dashed off to a catch lab procedure.

Being rushed and overworked is no defense. Patients look to doctors for role modeling. Self-awareness and self-discipline in their personal lifestyle will greatly help these doctors in their personal and professional lives. . . .


N-i-i-i-i-ce. Fast Fred talking what role models ought to look like. Hilarious. Nothing more need be said. And nothing would suffice. So I'll hush.

he got it wrong, cardiologists rush to cath labs... as in catheterisation not as in catching the embolism
