You don't pay your doctor $75 for sticking a needle in your arm, you pay him for his knowledge not to stick the needle in the wrong place.

Looks like we've got full circle considering this same logic was applied to devs for ages.

Except that for doctors the circle somehow doesn't close upon itself.

Youtube is full of videos showing how to inject oneself.

Writing a text-detection script can be done perhaps with some help from Google/Stackoverflow, but requires still some intellectual effort depending on requirements.

And when you screw up and stick it in the wrong place?

No way man.

If you solved that problem you would be rich.

This analogy is driving me crazy, heh, but I can't resist:

Flu shots are generally intramuscular, you literally just jab it into your bicep. A layperson can do it with high probabilities of success just by reading the instructions on the box.

Indeed, pharmacists administer these all over the US.

Please don't jab a needle into your bicep. That sounds painful and unnecessary.

Tricep is the way to go here.
