I like Dr. Sise's comments.  When I realized that acute care surgery  with a 
trauma interest was my genetic fate in life,  I took an extra two  years to 
complete a thoracic surgery residency.   My general surgery  residency prepared 
me for a career in vascular surgery better than current day  vascular 
fellowships.   I had spent a great deal of time developing  the discipline of 
emergency medicine in my early years.    Thus,  I felt very well prepared to take care 
of anything that came through the  door.    In the areas where I did not 
receive training, I do not  and have not pretended to be able to give the patient 
a good outcome -  orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery and I really would rather 
others take care of  burns, and in my area of the country there are three 
centers that really want  all the burn patients we can send them.
