the need for insight...i mean intelligence...i mean checkups

imagine that you are flying from los angeles to paris. if you're fortunate, you might have made the journey before.

anyway, the trip is about 5,588 statute miles each way. imagine that your pilot is a complete wanker like your typical patient who doesn't go in for checkups. so the pilot sets course for paris and doesn't bother to check the bearings for the entire trip. unbeknownst to the pilot, she has been off by one degree. a single bloody degree. over 5,588 statute miles, this one degree manifests as 97.5 miles off course! all because the tool of a pilot didn't check her bearings, you end up spending your vacay bobbing about somewhere in the celtic sea between london and paris. if you're an optimist, at least it wasn't 9 more degrees, else you might be in the middle of a libyan firefight, praying for hillary to come save you.

don't be a wanker. get a checkup.
