The Greeks Have a Word for it:
When we were talking one afternoon as he repaired some broken cameras, Kalogiros asked: “Is there any one word in English describing a person who has the skills and training and even the medicines to help heal a sick person but who will do nothing for the sufferer unless he is well paid?”
I reviewed of all the dirty words for such a scoundrel I could think of, but couldn’t remember any single word for such a villain so I replied, “No, I don’t think there is such a word in English’.
“We have such a word in Greek” he said—“Doctor”.
Think about it.
