1. You're an expert at catching wild pigs? What is a more efficient method of catching wild pigs? We're all on pins and needles.
2. This doesn't make sense. If you're talking about something beyond someones ability, there'd be no way to make a comparison on frugality concerning a serious medical condition, but many people go to doctors for ailments that are inconsequential, and your point would fail there. In most cases anything you can do is going to be cheaper that hiring it out. It's just common sense. No labor cost; no material mark-up.
