Two Major Breakthroughs in New Surgeon Rating Study
There's an old joke health care cynics tell:
Q. What do you call the guy who graduated last in his medical school class?
A. Doctor.
We chuckle at this -- albeit nervously -- because it's strange to think of our doctor at the bottom of any class. We like to think that the title "doctor" refers only to mythically gifted savants of healing. We hope that those ornate diplomas and awards in our doctor's waiting room justify entrusting our lives to his or her care.
