Imagine a consortium of lower-end hospitals and medical clinics across the country whining that they are having a hard time attracting doctors to practice at their hospital for $20,000/year.

Now imagine that those same hospitals and clinics want to lower the requirements for their employees to be able to perform surgeries such that only a bachelors degree in biology or anatomy is needed.

Then imagine that this these hospitals and clinics are not required to tell their patients which of their surgeons are actually doctors and which are merely 22 year-old biology majors.

Anyone see a problem with this arrangement?
