Dr. Cranquis (not his real name) blogs fairly regularly on tumblr. He has an entertaining writing style and does an amazing job of answering questions from his readers. One reader recently asked him the following question:

As one who follows him on tumblr, this post came across my dashboard and I was eager to read his take on it.
He says that doctors need to be “even MORE careful” than politicians for a number of reasons.

, a book by Dr. Maggie Kozel. As a medical student planning on going into primary care, I can’t help but wonder about my decision when hearing things like this. I haven’t read the book yet. I don’t know if I want to. Maybe I have to work up the courage to do so.
