[HSF] "Guide to America's Top Surgeons"????

[Edward Bender]

Sorry, Michael.  I got the same thing, so it can't be all that much  
of an honor.  It is very similar to the money making schemes at  
"Who's Who."  They go through this extended phone interview, and, at  
the end, you are asked to buy your entry into the publication.  You  
are also able to buy representations of you entry in the form of  
plaques, etc.  Its a pretty good way to make money for the publishers  
by stoking the egomaniacal flames of competitive over-achievers.   
Moms and Dads would love it though.
