Unfortunately even that needs to get taken one step deeper...
Here is my example:
We have one "specialist" that quotes me 8 weeks on crutches for my broken tib.
And we have another well known "specialist" here (caugh Dr. Mark) that has me walking in normal shoes in two weeks.
Anyone know how to learn a lot about a doctor instead of the hard way?
