Card

While I was counting the numbers, my friend AP showed me a name card that she recently received:

********************************
Dr. XYZ
Founding President
International Society of Pruritis Ani
********************************

I literally scratched my head and asked, "Who's this guy? I've never heard of him."

"Of course not. It's too remote from us - he just got his fellowship earlier this year."

"Alas, that's a vivid example of title inflation. I suppose he is leaving Hospital Authority for private practice soon?"

My friend smiled and nodded.
