After you, Doctor...

I know it's very naughty, but I can't help wondering how many practising cataract surgeons, who continue to hypocritically extal the virtues of cataract surgery, have had the surgery themselves?  How many have lost their natural lens, and now got IOLs?
And what about top ophthalmologists at international conferences who pompously lecture spellbound audiences on their surgical techniques?   How many of them, and their audience?  Not to mention all those researchers at all those universities studying the mechanism of cataract for the last 50 years, whose discoveries never saved a single cataract sufferer from the knife - not even one - yet smiling at us like Cheshire cats in those charming group photos, all decked out in their white lab coats, on their websites.  How many of them have lost their natural lens to the knife?
It rather tempts me to say, before I succumb...I think you, Doctor, should have the surgery first.
After you, Doctor...
