My money is on the renal physicans,they're incredibly clever but a real pain to work for as a result. What do other people think?

This one is simple, the Doctor who completes more continuing education in their field, if your a brain Surgeon and do 2 courses in a year, then your beat out by a GP sho does 300. Simple. DuaneF |

Short of IQ testing of all doctors, you can only really judge this one on a combination of personal experience and a sensible estimation. I'd say that you have to go for a small specialty that involves lots of (tough) exams and academia as requisite and so my money would be on clinical chemistry or immunology. Orthopods come a close third.

Hip Radiologist, Good points, Although I might interject that Smart as a defining term encompasses both cognitive ability - IQ, and amout of education. There are many forms of smart, and I often run into to mensa people who are very high IQ, and play chess well, yet have so limited a grasp on the world in terms of total education. Total amount of education is somewhat different than IQ, just like wisdom is different. DuaneF |
