Joseph Heller, Catch-22:
There was a urologist for his urine, a lymphologist for his
lymph, an endocrinologist for his endocrines, a psychologist for his
psyche, a dermatologist for his derma; there was a pathologist for his
pathos, a cystologist for his cysts, and a bald and pedantic cetologist
from the zoology department at Harvard who had been shanghaied
ruthlessly into the Medical Corps by a faulty anode in an I.B.M. machine
and spent his sessions with the dying colonel trying to discuss Moby
Dick with him.
