Perhaps it is wrong for cardiologist surgeons to be counselors at the same time...

I've been thinking about that a lot since my recent visit to my cardiologist, who put me through all the tests that she offered in her office and no others. You have to be suspicious about that. OTOH, it makes no sense at all to have a cardiologist spend hours with patients talking about such lowly topics as eating eggs and monitoring CRP. It's simply not cost effective. I think a case could be made that cardiologists should take the initiative to make this counseling function happen but I now believe that criticizing cardiologists for not doing it themselves is off target.
