Here's an interesting fact: Abe Lincoln served in the Illinois state legislature and then served a single term in the U.S. House before being elected to the presidency. I think he turned out ok.

But I still think it shows that the 'experience' thing isn't a real issue.

Because there is one exception to the rule? Who do you want performing surgery on you an intern or an experienced surgeon?

what? you don't read many medical detective novels? It's always the venerated surgeon who operates after his hands start shaking that did it... and everyone tries to cover up because they feel sorry for or loyal to him....

I think you mean Diagnosis Murder.
Although thinking about it, Dick Van Dyke does a lot more chatting and trotting about and having people try to kill him than any real medical procedures. Probably because he knows he's "venerated" enough to botch it. Venerated does mean old and creaky, doesn't it? (I do know what it means really. Incontinent.)
