I don't disagree.

I think a lot of the problem is the way the public fed his ego.
He didn't save peoples lives.

He was simply a small cog in a very large team, using advanced facilities to ensure that after a few practices he could, with a very skilled team around him, cut people open, scoop bits out, and put bits back.

Could he do it by himself - no.
Could he do it without the equipment - no
Can liver transplants be done without him - they haven't even blinked.
They wouldn't even have mis-stepped if he phoned up sick on the way to the theatre, the transplant would still have gone ahead.
In the process he was insignificant, just his ego was over inflated as a "surgeon"

I get your point - but with some corrections - he is the largest cog in a large team put in to place to support him - so I stand by the point he saved thousands of lives.

In the same way - Lewis Hamilton has been the world F1 champion many times

And, in the same way, if he didn't race, the track would still be filled, with drivers waiting.
The start wouldn't be delayed, the chequered flag would still fall, his replacement would step straight onto the podium.
