But in the real world, the physician-as-God is as dated as house calls and generous insurance plans, as J.D. discovers during his first day on rounds.

And none of us really wants our President, Bill Clinton, to change even one iota. No one wants to see him toiling monastically on his memoirs or with a wrench in his hand, building low-income housing for Habitat for Humanity. We expect and desire...
