I wouldn't be all that quick to jump to that conclusion. About 7 years ago when my late wife was in the hospital, a medical subspecialist told us something that was the most ridiculous utterance by any physician I ever knew, so I asked him where he had heard that. He gave me the name of his supervising physician in his fellowship---unfortunately for him it was a doctor I had trained, so I knew it was total BS. And he is not alone. Minimum standards---yes, but I would hope we could strive for something better
