Hogwash, Faldage.

The Good Doctor was the nickname-of-honor bestowed by the people as well as the literati on Anton Chekhov, the great Russian playwright, poet, and, arguably, the greatest short story writer ever who is credited with elevating the modern short story to an art form...with Somerset Maugham and Guy de Maupassant close seconds. "The Good Doctor" is also the title of a play written in tribute to Chekhov by Neil Simon.

Therefore, I assert to my good friend, Faldage, across the aisle, that Asimov is far removed from the quintessential
"Good Doctor"...that honor belongs to Anton Chekhov.
