The culture of denial in medicine

an odd, rambling, psychobabbling account by a canadian doctor who has found himself better suited for radio work and ted-talking.

that is fine but his his angst ought not be mistaken for "bad". as a 30 year practicing physician, i would observe the public and physicians are well served by the refining fire of pain felt in making a misjudgment---he seems to suggest there is a need for change--my hope would be that it never change.

it takes broad shoulders to be a doc (and a lot of other jobs as well) and this is just part of development, albeit painful. this is why canadian docs, and now american docs, are paid the little bucks.
