In lieu of a blog post this week, I'm linking to a short 60 Minutes video featuring CBS's Andy Rooney on the problem of excessive subspecialization in medicine. I prefer the term "partialists," a term described on DB's Medical Rants blog as "those who ignore any problem that does not fit their tunnel vision of their purview."
