Reminds me of the story of Golgafrincham from the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy books:

The planet Golgafrincham creatively solved the problem of middle managers: it blasted them in to space.

Golgafrinchan Telephone Sanitisers, Management Consultants and Marketing executives were persuaded that the planet was under threat from an enormous mutant star goat. The useless third of their population was then packed in Ark spaceships and sent to an insignificant planet.

That planet turned out to be Earth.

Same on the computer thing, but I feel that knowing how to tear a computer (or anything, really) apart reduces the "I don't think I can do this" threshold a bit. Not having a choice also helps, as in "Oh, the turbo died and all the shops say it'll cost more than the car is worth to replace? Guess I'm learning how to swap a turbo."

Yes. One always has the option to call the office and speak with someone, but this isn't much of an option if the practice fired the employee who used to answer the phones because now they have this handy no-contact solution that just so happens to cost a little bit less per month than what they were paying Brenda to answer the phone. Also, it will cost more than Brenda's salary in a year when prices go up to increase shareholder revenue.

This is unironically true for the Mediflow water-filled pillow, which is a) amazing and b) guaranteed to knock your pillow fight opponent right the fuck out

My orthopedic surgeon uses this exact same system (phreesia). I can't leave the practice, because they're the only ones in my area who will accept my insurance.

Isn't that fun?
