Not inspirational, but Wildly true. Not a script for future success, but a tome to teach how to survive with the platoon in the foxholes and land mines of residency. My favorite lines are "If you don't take a temperature, you can't find a fever." Ted Pincus version is you have to measure something to know something. And "The patient is the one with the disease" - always a need to refocus on whats important in medical care!. Bravo Lenny for jogging the "Shem" in us.
