This reminds me of something Terry Pratchett said on Usenet about his
fantasy world Discworld:
 
"I think that sick people in Ankh-Morpork [the primary city in the
Discworld series] generally go to a vet.  It's generally a better bet.
There's more pressure on a vet to get it right.  People say "it was god's
will" when granny dies, but they get *angry* when they lose a cow."

Indeed, Dr. Williams is one of the many treasures to be found on the FML.
