3/ Discovery in medicine, for example, is not a job. It is not work.
It is creating art. It's painting.
And when we are being artistic, most of us enjoy diving all the way in & immersing ourselves without undo distraction.

@drdangayach 2/ Why care to read scientific literature more effectively & thoroughly? Applied knowledge at the bedside is how you āspeakā for your patient ā maximizing her dignity & respect. Reducing suffering through knowledge is mercy. The eyes are your lamp, use them to read and shine!
@drdangayach 3/ I got depressed as a young MD when I saw docsā journals piling up in plastic wrappers, unread. I vowed never to let that happen because my patients deserve better. So bought into Oslerās mantra to āset reading habits early & youāll be set for life.ā
