Here is the correct quote from Winston Churchill: “If you’re not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you’re not a conservative at forty, you have no brain.”
Also, conservatism in Churchill’s era is absolutely NOT what conservatism is now.

Deep cut! I first heard of and saw that show in college. It’s great!
You are correct. But what Austin Powers was referencing was this scene from The Prisoner. Top notch 60’s TV!
Woodworker here. Building with “wet” wood will always result in some wood movement. For exterior applications, wood with around 9-14% moisture is reasonable. For interior applications, more like 6-8%. You can get moisture measuring devices to give you an exact reading.
Green treated wood is not great as most box stores will not allow it to dry properly before putting it up for sale. You can plan for this will corner bracing and such, but it will move on you if too wet. You can find stacks in the lumber yards that are drier than others which can help. Another option for exterior applications is to use kiln dried wood such as cedar and then apply a good sealer to it. If you really want to use the green treated stuff and it’s too wet, stack it with shims between the layers and allow it to air dry until you get to the desired moisture. That should minimize the movement after building with it.
There is a good article here.
Physician here.
Medicine is one of the few professions in which capital is tied to labor (at least of the licensed independent clinicians). Hospitals, clinics, etc., can’t run any test, provide any service, perform any surgery, without a physician (or other licenses clinicians) order.
Health systems rely on their physicians to drive clinical practice. Physicians are the experts after all. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship, but at its core, it is a partnership. This partnership certainly has it’s ups and downs. But this is what happens when the health system forgets that it is a partnership.
