Re: Eight more years of Bill Clinton

What do you call a physician who graduated last in his class? "Doctor."

What doesn't matter is where a physician graduated in his class, but rather, how well he did in residency. I would rather a doctor who was a great resident and lousy student than a doctor who was a great student and lousy resident.

When McCain retired from the Navy, he had the rank of Captain, had a silver star, bronze star, Legion of Merit, a distinquished flying cross and a Purple heart.

Let's compare that to President Bush's military career. I think he retired a LT. in the Navy and earn a distinquished flying cross, three flying medals and a Presidential Unit Citation. That's Pres. Bush the elder. Of course, the current President Bush got into the Air national Guard with the lowest acceptable score for his aptitude test and couldn't get into University of Texas Law School.

Obviously, YOUR psychiatrist did not exactly graduate summa cum laude!

But your pathologist did, which is why he declared you brain dead 10 years ago.

A lot you know. A neurologist would declare a patient brain dead, not a pathologist. She would look at the brain after the patient is dead.

It doesn't matter that a physician graduated in the bottom of his class? Okay, You go to him, and I'll go to the one at the head of his class. Residency is just a test to see how long you can stay awake and not kill anybody.

Residency is where young people learn to practice medicine on their own. Before residency, neurosurgeons can hardly do a simple surgery; after residency, neurosurgeons are able to do brain surgery.

Have you ever been in medical school or residency? I have.
