America's Best Surgeon

America's Next Top Model, The Apprentice, Project Runway, So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol...all tried and true. What could go wrong with America's Best Surgeon? Imagine how your patient base would balloon if you won the show. And the competitions? How about having two surgeons, one blindfolded and operating, and the other giving verbal instructions? Or maybe you can only use your non-dominant hand. Or having to operate underwater or upside down (car mechanics do it). We've got a bunch of medical dramas, how about a reality show? (Imagine a patient coming into your office, "Hi Doctor, have I seen you before? Oh wait, weren't you eliminated in round 1?")
