"John. Langan. Professional. Paradigms. The paradigm for our thinking about trust
and fiduciary relationships in professional life is usually conceived in terms of a
relationship between two individuals: the independent practitioner, who charges
a fee for service, and the client, who seeks the advice and work of the trained
professional. We can place these individuals — in the doctor's office or the
attorney's office. We can readily ..."

In earlier centuries gout was understood as a metabolic disease of the affluent, so much so that it became a badge of uppercrust honor -- and a medical excuse to avoid hard work.
