Health Care Competiton in The Simpsons

So, I started this post just looking for a picture of my hero, Dr. Nick Riviera.

But in the process, I found and learned so much more.

In an insightful piece published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal in 1998, two physicians analyze the medical care received by Homer J. Simpson and his family.

Which is the better physician, in terms of balancing cost and quality, Nick Riviera, or Dr. Julius Hibbert?

Oh, who the fuck am I kidding?! I don't care. Dr. Nick kicks ass.

Read the CMAJ article comparing these two physicians for the Simpson family here.
