In the article, the board ...could not be happier about having a surgeon of Dr. Webber's caliber. The article mentioned that Webber got into the surgical program in one of the most competitive years and Webber said that if one or two of his Manhattan colleagues came to Seattle, it would be nice to see how their attitudes spark things.
