Medicine</b></u><br>
<i>Dr. Louis Kuchnir , MIT Alum & Prehealth Advisor</i><br>
Thu Jan 28, 06-07:00pm, 4-231<br>
No limit but advance sign up required (see instructions below)<br>
Single session event<br>
Back when doctors were among the wealthiest Americans, they could have
retired early, but instead they tended to work until their own health
failed. Lately, clinical medicine is cast as an unrewarding
profession. Observers point to how "jackpot justice" is
causing a malpractice crisis while cost-savings programs developed by
managed care bureaucracies are blamed for destabilizing the
doctor-patient relationship.<br>
Dr. Louis Kuchnir will inspire those of you interested in becoming
clinicians by explaining how the rewards of medical practice are so
enormous that they outweigh the indignities that dominate the
headlines.<br>
