I enjoyed Dan Small’s article entitled “An anthropological examination of an exotic tribe: The Nai­cisyhp” in the January/February, 2011 issue [BCMJ 2011;53:32-34 [10]]. 

As a retired Naicisyhp I write se­mor­dnelap but your tattarattat woke me up. Your rotavator stirred up many medical sagas and loads of BS: my medical colleagues sometimes could be “drab as a fool, aloof as a bard.”

After 40 years in medical practice I retired to Ogopogo land and now drive a Civic and a Toyota. You can contact me at 11-22 Kinikinik Place where I run a drop-in centre for Malayalam, retired shaman.
