:-) Clearly, you haven't spent time around the usual neurosurgeon or
cardiovascular surgeon. Tongue in cheek, I once asked my heart
surgeon, on teaching rounds, if he could prove he was board-certified.
This shocked him, and I quickly explained that most people claiming
to be cardiovascular surgeons tended not to enjoy having substantive
discussions with patients, to treat their students/residents/fellows
as respected junior colleagues, and be loved by the nurses for
appreciating them and not regarding them as slave labor.

Not to disagree, and talking much more about design, it tends to be
very important, in medical networking, to establish quickly to
clinicians that you have a decent knowledge of medicine. They tend
not to care about your information technology skills, although, every
so often, you run into one that is quite knowledgeable -- which you'd
better catch early in the discussion.
