I'm not polarizing I'm simply bring up another viewpoint here. You point is taken, I want the best team in there too, but I am still concerned about the ONE brilliant (or not so brilliant) guy/gal in that room that has the scalpel in his hand sticking into my head! I'm not concerned about whether he/she is a nice person at that time of my life if you know what I mean. 😀
I for one have been there and done that. I wanted the best. His skill was exemplary and his bedside skills with the patient were not so hot. The operation went perfect and the result was outstanding. He did not visit me after the operation and I have not seen him since that morning. He is not a people person, he is a skilled surgeon.
I had a similar experience, and I absolutely refuse to say anything about the surgeon except he is outstanding at what he does, he and my primary care physician disagree on some things, he knew when to read me the riot act, and I have him to thank for where I am today. If someone asks me for the best doctor in his field, he is number one on that list.
