So, who would you choose?

Let us assume that you are in the hospital for a life saving procedure. Yes, a life saving procedure for you.

The hospital tells you that you have a choice of three surgeons and two surgical teams. Surgeon A is young, charming, intelligent - when to the best schools and graduated with distinction, skilled - all his colleagues say he is good. In short, he is a hot shot. But, he just finished his residency about two years back and has limited to no experience in the procedure. Surgeon B is experienced, has a decent record - some misses and some success. Surgeon C is the silver haired veteran with lot of experience and again some misses and some success. Surgeon A can tap into members of both surgical teams. So, can Surgeon C - to a limited extent. Surgeon B can only work with one team.

You meet with the surgeons - Surgeon A is recommending a new technique that has shown lot of promise but has never been tried. Surgeons B and C are considering using things that they have been doing all these years.

Think about it...

Now, what if Surgeon A was Barack Obama, B was Hillary Clinton and C was John McCain?
