interesting quote...

I'm attending the AODME conference this week in Seattle.

Here is one of my favorite quotes from a session...

"You don't need a double-blind placebo controlled study on the efficacy of parachutes when jumping out of airplanes... some things just make sense."

I also like this... Background - I frequently get "offers" for our residents to participate in this or that activity, which unfortunately often centers more around some work that needs to be done rather than what it might contribute to the educational program. I've struggled with formulating politically correct responses at times, but this was a good one, to simply ask... "what is the educational objective of that experience?"
