Completely agree with point 1. There are many researchers in the area who like to also practice, that lead me to ask the # of surgeries question.
My bias is towards surgery at a good regional hospital (Newton-Wellesley for example) with a surgeon who teaches downtown and does lots of surgeries.
What is my skew that that is bringing me more risk? I used to think all doctors were about the same. Now I realize that is about as true as all baseball players are the same. There are hall of famers as well as some who could be sent down to the minors. The trick is figuring out who is who, because other docs won’t say.
