Our Constitution

I am not going to quote textbooks, but I might quote my weird uncle Larry who likes to tell dirty jokes when it is definitely inappropriate.

This is not going to be Sunday school where I will coax you into giving the
“right” answer. Hopefully, it will be more like an old dive bar where curse words and real opinions often slip out.

I am not going to set up straw men who are easy to knock down with canned responses. If there is an easy answer to a dilemma, it does not need further discussion.

This blog will be a place where real situations that real medical students have faced will be discussed.  I am not going to tell you the “right answer.” Again, if there were always a right, clear-cut answer, this blog would be pointless.

You cannot read enough books to prepare for all situations. In the coming months we will discuss real situations that we have faced that have caused us sleepless nights. Through discussion and input from our outstanding faculty moderators, we will prepare pre-clinical students for future difficult situations that they will face.

We will provide a forum where students can discuss tough choices that they have had to make in the clinical setting.

Finally, we want to expand our paradigm and hear from other health care professionals on how they see things.
