[HSF] Standard of care for lawyers {OT}

[Michael Firstenberg]

easier said than done.
how do you find good people who want to technically work under a
cardiac surgeon but can be strong enough to take charge of a situation
and tell the surgeon he is wrong?  who pays for them (how do they
generate revenue within a drg system ).

do you want a surgeon who does not operate?  a pulmonary doc with no
cardiac surgery experience?  anesthesia?
