pretty heavy-duty credentials.

Tony, how come you let Eric trade with a cardiac surgeon but you always make me trade with the transvestite hookers on Ninth Avenue? That's totally not fair, though some of those girls can really write.

Heh. Did they invite you to be their "wife-in-law"? I've had that honor, from the hookers I was incarcerated with in the Tombs. I declined; perhaps a bad career move considering the money.

BWAH!!!

I'm wiping tears from my eyes.

It would be a public service if either Ripert or Oz traded places with someone in the hospital kitchen--preferably while I was not having heart surgery or eating at le Bernardin. I have to say I like the idea of a cardio doc who appreciates offal rather than looking at it as a cholesterol bomb.

as the country's "premier heart surgeon".

Why does everyone feel the need to claim their doctor is the very best in their field. My dad is notorious for this and it gives me vast satisfaction and amusement to query his assesment of his medical professionals' skills. Everyone I've ever known to need any type of specialist whatsoever has been fortunate to get attention from the very top practioner in their field. Statistically speaking, alot of you must be receiving substandard care, because I know for a fact that I've never spoken to an average doctor in my life, nope, only the very best and brightest for me.

In fact, I've never talked to a receiptionist in a medical office that wasn't at the very top of their field. The cahier in the hospital cafeteria last time I was there was perhaps the best cashier in the world.

i just read this and can't stop laughing...i hear this all the time...and when you are truly looking for a recommendation it is very difficult to get to the best of the best..iwhen i ask people what makes him/her/it the best, they usual reply reaction i get is a look as if i just fell off the turnip truck then "well, thats where EVERYBODY goes"
