Training DoctorsDecember 13th 2010 09:29
"Writtent by NHS Consultants." So proclaims the Oxford Medical site, a specialist site that offers doctors and other medical practitioners a variety of ways in which to further their skills. Pity, in that case, that the first thing that strikes a proof-reading eye like mine is an additional 't' on the end of 'Written'.
That quibble aside, this looks like a great place to start if you're a doctor (I'm not) and you want to improve various skills.

In two days, the course offers a wide variety of techniques, including how to deal with difficult students
Two random quotesDecember 8th 2010 07:25
Adlai Stevenson, quoted in: When All You've Ever Wanted Isn't Enough, chapter 6. I say that this is the source for the quote, but I can't find any book title by Adlai Stevenson with a name even remotely similar to this - you have to remember many of these quotes were collected back in the 80s, so I may have missed getting the correct title!
What a man knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty is, for the most part, incommunicable. All the observations about life which can be communicated handily are as well known to a man at twenty who has been attentive as to a man at fifty. He has been told them all, he has read them all, but he has not lived them all. What he knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty is not the knowledge of formulas or forms of words, but of people, places, actions and knowledge not gained by words but by touch, sight, sound, victories, failures, sleeplessness, devotion, love - the human experiences and emotions of this earth and oneself and other people; and perhaps too a little faith and a little reverence for things you cannot see
