> Hospitals play surgeons and trauma surgeons for chumps. Without general surgery there is no...

--> I, too, happen to believe that surgeons have their uses... ;-)

> We should not be throwing ourselves on landmines to make these beauracracies flourish

--> Agreed. But let's also not pit one specialty against another - everyone has their role.

> I applaud the neurosurgery community limiting training, centralizing care and maintaining an obvious high demand

--> This might make them more money, but it does not place them in a position to support other specialties as well as could be possible and it certainly does not help patients.

> If run correctly, a trauma program can make a good deal of money for a community hospital

--> If a specialty attempts to justify itself through its profits, might not management treat it like property?

From: Nicholas Macartney (nick at macartney.org)  
> The UK system...Exactly the same formulae for all specialties...

--> Nice.

Makes it easier to feel a part of the team with colleagues from other specialties.
