Al Gore? Jimmy Carter?

Clever....clever.

20 years in Boston hospitals only shows your limited exposure to the world of medicine.

Maybe you're right.What can one possibly learn about the world of medicine by working where I did for as long as I did?

My Mom, a graduate of Tuft's School of Medicine, also found the type of medicine practiced in "New England" very restrictive.

Given that New England medicine is so....ordinary...I'd be curious to learn why your mother chose Tufts rather than....say....the University of North Arkansas.And I'd also be curious to hear whether or not she believes that her Tufts degree might have opened doors for her,career-wise,that might not have been opened to a graduate of the University of North Arkansas.And I'd also be curious to hear what she means by "very restrictive".Is that a way of affirming the wisdom of the command contained in the Hippocratic Oath "first,do no harm"....?

For better or for worse Boston is the world capital of medicine and has been for years.It certainly might not be so 20 years from now (there are stories around here these days saying that given the outrageous prices of homes around here promising young doctors are going elsewhere).Boston surely isn't the only place where one can get excellent health care.But when push comes to shove it's still one of the handful of cities that people in India or Indiana want to go to for a cure of their rare,deadly ailment.

Maybe because the latter doesn't exist?

Does Boston have any treatment programs for advanced cases of snobbery?

Oh, brother. Give it a rest, willya? Anybody ever heard of Walter Reed? Cedars Sinai? The Mayo Clinic? Your hubris has moved from merely offensive to outright ridiculous.

“(there are stories around here these days saying that given the outrageous prices of homes around here promising young doctors are going elsewhere)” - Yea, to Houston.
