As chief of staff or chief of department these supremely skilled and competent doctors often were arrogant SOBs that would reduce nurses, residents, interns and anyone else to tears with just a few words.īut they knew their shit (even if sometimes a bit over confident), and easily could take positions at a top hospital. Mark Craig was like so many other what some would consider total AH doctors of the time. Don't know how a guy born in East New York, NY developed such an accent, but it worked for him.ĭr.
