* Her cardiologist. He did a _great_ job of heart surgery after her heart attack, but she wasn't thrilled about the way he ran his clinic on her follow-up visits. So she got another guy. That this guy was closer to the house is an unexpected bonus.
* Her orthopedic surgeon. Visited several guys when it came time to replace her knees. Picked one she liked who is also uber-competent.
Digression: Ten years ago when this guy was a middle-aged doctor knee replacements were a hand-crafted affair. Now the doctor runs the operation but a kind of CNC machine does the actual cutting, uses lasers to measure things and customize the new knees.
CNC machines cutting new knees: it's an awesome century so far.
