I'm in favor of term limits...

...for surgeons .

There should be a federal law that doesn't allow anyone over the age of 60 to be the lead surgical operator in an operating room.

Since I am aware enough to know that there are those very few doctors who are over 60 and can still do a great job at their craft, I would set up a federal panel to hear appeals to this hard age cap.

However, each surgeon would have to provide all surgical records from the previous 5 years and would continue to be subject to these reviews every 5 years after until such time that it is deemed they must give up their surgical scrubs.
