There are four. "All Work and No Play" isn't considered a reason (although it could be), but is rather the ending to the article. Danshil, nope.

(smiley face) you know every time i am in the OR, i walk by the general surgery service and just give them a little of the "business". i tell the interns, "come to the darkside". i have told them multiple time that i can help if they want. i can put a pedicle in the colon to plug up that damn pesky appendix. we are very good a taking out hardware; so if the need the rod taken out their @sshole, we will be happy to oblige. hoover

Unless they are total assholes, they shouldn't be offended by your questioning or concerns. Even as a medical student, it was apparent at how much more patients were educated given the easy access to health information via the web. I think the docs have gotten pretty used to it by now.
