Just because he is senior does not make him the best. Honestly though, I would not put him down for not knowing about dialysis...urologists have hardly anything to do with renal functioning. They are mainly dealing with the &quot;plumbing&quot; . <br /><br />You have raised a good point about keeping uptodate. There should be a system of appraisal and revalidation in india ..hopefully it will come one day .Rajatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4155770613355202151.post-13616372418381012492009-06-20T18:32:41.006+05:302009-06-20T18:32:41.006+05:30Isn&#39;t it scary you let him be your surgeon in retrospect? <br /><br />I often wonder what makes people resist the inevitable clarity that the pursuit of knowledge offers.<br /><br />On another note, I also wonder why we spend so much time researching trivial things like phones and TVs, yet we do not give the credentials of our doctors equal or more scrutiny -- we simply trust them or our emotional judgment. <br /><br />I am amazed by the skewed perception of risk in humans.Anandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12468982112000617039noreply@blogger.com
