The funny thing is that I've yet to have an issue with *any* of those
other service industries. Only the medical service industry has ego
issues.

Dry cleaners clean my clothes without ego tripping. Shop clerks ring up
my purchases and check if they have stock in the back when something
isn't on the shelf without ego tripping. Fast food kids take my order
and get my food without ego tripping. The folks at the tire place put
new tires on my truck without ego tripping. The surveyor surveys my
property without ego tripping. The civil engineer designs my driveway
and septic system without ego tripping.
