While he was dept. head, he had a fellow in that subspecialty that he trained, obviously one that was younger than both of us. It was this physician that I encountered here in TVRH and gave an ignorant answer as a solution to a diagnosis, and claimed he heard that particular info from his head of dept., who I had taught. I knew the dept head pretty well and know that he would never have told anyone the BS that this guy here in TV was laying on me. Hope that clarifies the issue.

umm, yes, that makes sense! my respect for teaching doctors has been restored!
