I have a question regarding emergency medicine as an undergraduate desiring to go into emergency pediatrics: How can an emergency physician care for many patients quickly in an emergency setting and still provide each patient with personal care as opposed to ritualistic and detached care?

I trained at Boston City Hospital from 1958 thru 1961. Abraham must have trained after, since he talks about HIV patients. Beauty and for that matter painting is in the eye of the beholder. To talk for 16-17 minutes about a painting and his perception of the painting is a waste of time. Didn't impress me!. Even in being a specialty, I did house calls for $5.00 in Maine!

Whatever the target audience is supposed to be, it is as far from me as aliens.

[@grunder20]

Physicians nowadays have higher fees.

[@blowontheclouds]

This lecture makes me never want to go to Stanford.
