Remember in any occupation even West Point or Medical school most of the graduates are average or below average. Something my Doctor told me once.

The person graduating at the bottom of the class in med school is still called doctor! Shocked

Why honest and good?

Why do people refer others that charge alot or who have stolen from them or who they barely know? It is probably an attempt to weed out those nitwits, ya think?

If you criticize a popular doctor who has insinuated himself into the community and made influential friends, you will find yourself in a world of hurt.
Then, there is just the different perspectives on how a case went. Doctors always have good explanations for the cases that go horribly wrong--explanations that involve no culpability on their part. Sometimes that is true and sometimes it is a cover up.
Some people are taken on an expensive but unnecessary ride by their trusted doctor through specialists, procedures and/surgeries and crow that the doctor "saved my life." In truth, their life was never at risk--just their bank account was.
In the end, you have to make your decision, pay your money and take your chances.

Sounds like this person had the same popular doctor that I had. Run, don't walk, away from said doctor.

It doesn't compute to me that someone graduating from a university, especially at the doctorate level, would be average to below. Perhaps it needs clarification what the bar is set at. Average to below what?

But for Doctors most are average or below average. I don't want a average doctor. I want an above average doctor. I have had too many below or average doctors. Talk to Registered nurses in hospitals. They will tell you what I am saying. You want an average brain surgeon cutting in your head?? You don't trust me.

In any statistical computation, i.e. or like, a graduating class of doctors, among that group, there would be an average, and half would be below and half would be above. Not to difficult to comprehend.
I always remember the story of how MacArthur finished at the top of the graduating class at West Point and Eisenhower finished last, but their later life careers didn't reflect that.

Or as they say in Donegal "if you shorten someting by long enough it will be average" Eh
