Thursday, December 18, 2003My little sister did her internal medicine residency at the Univ of Vermont/Fletcher Allen Hospital complex, back in the mid 90s. She worked her ass off. Has continued to work her butt off in cardiology training, has finally settled down to a practice. If Dean started his residency in 1978, how the heck did he get elected in 1982 to the state legislature? It does not compute.... ...In addition, I happened to teach in the physics department at Univ of Vermont for three years, so I know a little bit about that area.....The town of Shelburne is a snobbish place, full of rich bigshots from the IBM plant etc. If that is where he practiced, I am not buying that "country doctor" thing about Howard Dean. Dean was elected to the legislature in 1983, but that's still only five years after completing medical school. Most internal medicine residency programs take three years to complete. He's spent more time in politics than medicine. Which is OK, since he's a politician. But he's not the country doctor he pretends to be. UPDATE: Here's a blog devoted to Dean's deceptions. posted by Sydney on 12/18/2003 11:32:00 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
