The President of Uruguay is also a practicing oncologist

He spends a morning a week in clinic:
At the clinic, which is affiliated with the country'’s best-known private hospital, Dr. Vazquez wears a white smock with his name embroidered on a pocket. His colleagues, men and women alike, greet him with a kiss on the cheek, as is the custom here, and address him as "Doctor" rather than "Mr. President."


Comments:
Gee, what a change it would be to have somebody intelligent running a country. Too bad Howard Dean did not project a more professional image. What's even worse is that at a tort lawyer like John Edwards has been closer to the US presidency than a health care professional. I guess I would just have to move to Uruguay if that ever happened.
