nice point. I first read the article as: I'm sick of the distinction between Surgeons and physicians. The surgeons think they're hot shit because they solve the big problems. They know how to cut. They look down on physicians who never get their hands dirty and don't know how the body is put together. They get up in the middle of the night to save lives, and sacrifice their own to make this happen. The Physicians think they're hot shit because they're the closest to the patient. They are masters of social interaction. They look down on surgeons who think that the answer to everything is to cut. Surgery should be a last resort, not a first. Over-specialization is the curse of our profession. Stratification breeds condescension. bla bla
