Let's assume: I have to go to a hospital to get a surgical treatment.  
Then I'm inside the operational theater. On the one side there is a  
"well educated and credential" surgeon. On the other side there ist a  
"self-selected group of people interested enough in surgical tools to  
participate in a discussion of surgical tools". Whom will I count on,  
when it comes to the selection of the proper surgical tool for  
treating ME?

Additional information: I hope that I will come home safe and sound.
