Let me tell you about this urologist. He did undergrad at Harvard, Med at Wash U St. Louis, then Residency at Yale. He dogged the MD kids that trained at lesser institutions like Michigan or UCLA. He hated my DO training and called it the great travesty of WWII. I would think that someone who trained at Colorado and the University of Pittsburg pretty well trained, but not him. My only point... sh$t rolls down hill. People always like to feel better about them selves by judging them selves on thier peers. Its the basic byproduct of capitalism. There has to be stratification.
The other way to look at it, if your having chest pain ANY doctor, regarless of training site, knows more than you, thus you are judged as thier savior. Its how the system works. Patients dont care, just egotistical docs.
Dont get me wrong, I love capitalism. I personaly think the ONLY reason goverment exists is to preserve free trade. The only way to change the system, and thus the mind of my urologist friend, is to let the hippies have even more influence over our children by further removing the stratification of letter grades and damaging influence of dodgeball so no one "gets their feeling hurt" by loosing. But I digress....
