So he has congenital color-blindness and impaired vision in one eye since age 3, yet is board certified and practiced for decades. Guess nobody told him he couldn’t be a neurosurgeon when he entered training. Is that his fault? What about your eagle-eyed surgeon with the hand tremor? Or the surgeon who has the bad heart that might quit ticking during your surgery. Bet they don’t ask about that. I’m sure he could have taken the easy disability route out, but chose not to. He averages about one lawsuit every 18 months as a neurosurgeon. That is probably better than the average neurosurgeon!
The sad thing is that he will make more money as a spa doctor with less stress and liability…
