September 27 -- Ss Cosmas and Damian, the Unmercenaries


The holy brothers were physicians
who didn't charge for medical services or even demand an insurance card. It wasn't quite enough to get them canonized; there was also that martyrdom. But it was unusual enough to warrant a mention in every "life" of them that I've ever seen. They even made it into the Roman Canon.

And, yes, there is too a lawyer who didn't charge: St Yves. But he's on another day.
