Jane,

Your post reminded me of an old tale, which I shall try to do justice by paraphrasing:

A doctor had come to the aid of the daughter of the king. The doctor applied the most advanced and radical techniques of his time to save the little girl. He was successful, and the king offered to title him as the greatest doctor of the realm.

The doctor refused: "Oh, Great King! I cannot accept such a title, for I am certainly not the greatest doctor of the realm. I have two older brothers who are also doctors, both of them are greater than me. My skills are only good enough to cure the extremely sick... and I lose many patients. My older brother has the skills of awareness and catches sickness early... he loses fewer patients. And my eldest brother has the skills of prevention. Those in his care rarely ever get sick... he loses the fewest patients of all the doctors in the realm."
