Summary

This quote humorously highlights the irony of a doctor's reputation being built on the number of renowned individuals who pass away while under their care, insinuating that the more high-profile patients who die, the more esteemed and experienced the doctor is seen to be. It satirizes the tendency to associate success in medicine with the gravitas of the cases handled, rather than the actual positive outcomes and successful treatments provided to patients.
