By all means, attack Dr. Vincent Di Maio. Call his character and expertise in to question. I welcome it.
Wikipedia alone states his own expertise to be in gunwounds - interesting, eh? And I'm not challenging what he stated from what people have repeated here he stated there were "6 blows to the head" he could be accurate while you're taking what he said incorrectly.

Fun little debate terms, or more in short "WAHWAHWAH".
I have an interesting family, deal with it or fuck off - if I go through my files I can drop the exact date for the MD case I was on, and there was certainly a Kate P. working at U/M Shock Trauma for 14 years up until 2010-2011 (I may have fudged the 2 years when it was really 3, omg!). Plus with my old career (hint, MSHRM in case you've forgotten) I've been attuned to networking and getting the best person on the job for everything or at the very least the best informed opinion I have available to me at every single opportunity.
Sometimes (say in the case of my first cousin [in law], Jack Lew) they're quite hard to reach - only gotten to speak to him once to date since ascending, and only once in eight years while he was doing lesser Cabinet work - even emails are spotty about response and I personally tend to doubt they're from him when I get them so I don't mention them (They read differently than he speaks in person - so I presume they're handled by his staffers). Others like my now mostly retired (private practice for 20 hrs a week) cousin's wife mentioned above literally are in daily contact with me between Facebook and the phone.
I'm one of the most boring branches of my very interesting family tree - and again, with the nature of my work (and even similar stuff my father engendered in me young in getting the best human resources for a situation - he was teaching me that when I was in middle school and it's importance over being a PERSONAL expert - and how they can even help you when you're already an expert - although as I think back its really weird he taught me that - being in pharmaceutical chemistry with private industry and the FDA depending on the era) I network constantly.
I'm sorry you don't seem to understand the importance of networking and the fact that some people have interesting families. (And note, about 15% of my tree would be truly interesting in appropriate context - the other 85% is military of some sort, or some sort of generic business that is dull enough I really couldn't say much more than their general business type in each case)
If you want the wife and my family trees, I'll be glad to give them though, including notes on the interesting members. [Although not her deceased fathers tree - we never knew ANYONE in his not even his parents - her stepfather's family is part of the interesting ones however - a VP of Morgan Stanley is in there, a Google engineer MIT grad, three published authors (one in RPG books, others in normal publishing)] Hell, if you go back 25 generations or something like that (I spaced out when my aunt was saying how many - and not giving her a call since they always turn into 90 min calls even when I have one simple question... [she's a boring member outside of her genealogy she's done on my dad's family - only one I know stuff about long dead generations from]) supposedly my fathers side is descended from Casimir even.
Sure, most people might have boring families - statistically that's probably normal - I unfortunately can't relate being that I'm from an exceptional family and have one of the rarest genetic conditions on the planet personally. (Occulodigitaldental dysplasia - has been called ODOS and ODDS in the past as well... 1000 known cases on this rock, estimated at 3000 in the population total including undiagnosed last I spoke to my specialists [John's Hopkins Genetics - specifically Dr. Hoover-Fong as my primary although she's got tons of secondaries as well] on the matter)
