About this Quote

This quote by Joe E. Lewis is an amusing take on the medical profession. It suggests that the medical professionals invested a lot of time analyzing him, but in the end, the only thing they could find incorrect with him was that he needed glasses. It is an easy going method of satirizing the medical profession, recommending that they may have over-examined him and that the only thing incorrect with him was something that might have been quickly identified. It likewise indicates that the doctors may have been too concentrated on discovering something wrong with him, rather than searching for something that might be quickly fixed. The quote is an amusing method of explaining the absurdity of the medical occupation and how it can often be too focused on finding something wrong with a patient, rather than searching for something that can be easily repaired.
