Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) is one of the oldest surgical corporations (professional oragization) in the world and traces its origins to 1505 [1]. The ad hominem fellow distinction is the most prestigious designation a surgeon can receive from the college. Of the more than 10,000 U.S. surgeons in his specialty, Rui P. Fernandes, MD, DMD, is just the third to be inducted as one (Fig 1) [2].
