Well it has and continues to be an exceedingly busy several weeks on the Infectious Diseases consult service making for long days and nights. Accordingly, my posts have been brief.
I fortuitously came across this perspective by Dr. Pauline Chen. The article explores unrealistic optimism in medicine, human psychology and the ethics of informed consent in certain experimental trials. Well worth the read.
Off to work soon and hoping to come home tonight at a reasonable hour.......unrealistically optimistic, again.
