Where this comes from

Abstract

Mr M.O. Gul returned for his postoperative visit today after you successfully repaired a leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm. Mr Gul owns most of the cable networks in the state, making him a billionaire. He realizes that he met the bearded reaper and walked away because of your skills. He is pioneering a new technology that will make current Wi-Fi obsolete. Unexpectedly, he offers you the opportunity to invest with the expectation of huge returns. M.O. personally guarantees you will not lose money. What should you do? A Invest. No questions asked. B Do not invest. It is unprofessional. C Do not invest without consulting with your attorney. D Do not invest. You have already been paid for services rendered. E Invest provided you forego future medical relationships with M.O. as the attending physician.
