Dr. Richard Bosshardt

Well, first off, there's too few doctors. I mean, there's so few that a lot of these guys, guys, men, women, whatever, a lot of doctors are there because there's just not enough doctors. I mean, if you try to get a doctor recently and make an appointment, just a routine appointment, you're talking months down the road. You need something more urgently. Good luck with that.

You'll probably end up going to an energy care center where you'll see a nurse practitioner or PA or someone that's got a fraction of the education experience of a physician. So it's not a real... There's not a simple cure for all of this. One thing I wanted to try to do with this conversation is not just simply badmouth my organization, the ACS, or badmouth medicine and surgery.

I'm devastated by what's happened. I really want surgery to be elevated to where it should be, which is a very highly regarded profession that is dedicated itself to taking care of all comers, regardless. We don't judge on who or what you are when you're in front of us and you've got a problem that we're trained to fix. My solutions, my first solution, obviously, is get DEI out of medicine.

The idea that you can take care of a patient if your first priority is to judge them based on their color or ethnicity is counter to everything that Hippocratic medicine is all about. The other is to reinstall standards of excellence. We have to quit lowering the bar. We got to start elevating the bar again and requiring that doctors and prospective doctors meet minimum standards.

There have to be some minimum, but they have to be higher than the lower 5% for Pete's sakes. They can't be that. We have to free the doctors in training to do what they have to do. You can't have... Restricted hours when you've got such limited time anyway. In the overall course of a person's lifetime, three, four, five years in surgery is a drop in the bucket.

I mean, to ask a surgeon to devote themselves to learning the craft and what they call the art and the science of surgery, not only do you need the time, you need the person to apply themselves.
