The Personal Side of Medicine

to Noah Raizman for bringing this to our attention.) The authors explain
that:
Attending physicians who were identified as excellent role models were more likely than controls to organize a dinner at the end of their month as attending physician, share professional experiences, talk about their personal lives, and try to learn about the lives of the house staff than were controls. In contrast, bringing doughnuts to rounds was not associated with identification as an excellent role model.
