Break Room

I thought the best statement I heard made at SMACC was protocolized therapy makes stupid people stupider and smart people stupid. Yes, cognitive errors occur in every specialty and each specialty needs to be accountable. Better communication between physicians and physician subspecialties needs to occur, enhancement of our medical school education, etc. We need to stop focusing on certain hospital metrics. We need to allow an illness to manifest and focus on patient care!
