BIG EGOS--Beware the humble surgeon.

After 20 + years in the medical profession I can attest that 'the humble surgeon' is a critter that just does not exist! LOL!

Just the thought of 'a humble surgeon' will have me chuckling for the remainder of the afternoon. In fact my sides are already aching--perhaps I should find 'a humble surgeon' to diagnose my problem.

I'll have to read the article again, I didn't pick up on which specialty Weed sprung from. But here's a quote that interests me...

Weed will tell you that he could teach a 15-year-old to use his software. He argues that medical schools, or "diploma mills," as he calls them, teach students to remember the answers to questions they never asked and memorize observations that they never made. That, he says, is the antithesis of scientific training.

My, all those grand rounds and rotating through various specialties and clinics were just a waste of time. All that was really needed was to be fifteen years old and in possession of Weed's program.

Wonder if Weed is a surgeon?
