If the case of former President Bill Clinton is any example, being a big shot can sure help get a doctor, but it doesn't guarantee first choice.

Dr. O. Wayne Isom said he was at his East Hampton home at 7 a.m. Friday when he got a call from a primary-care practitioner at Westchester Medical Center asking him to accept a patient transfer for emergency coronary surgery. ..

"Realistically, if they had told me it was him, I probably would have said, 'Sure, I'd be glad to do it.' I'm not a big fan of his but, as they say, everybody looks the same on the inside," Isom said.

Asked how his game was, he said, "It's a good thing I operate for a living."
