>Joy of Clinical Medicine
>Dr. Louis Kuchnir , MIT Alum & Prehealth Advisor
>Thu Jan 28, 06-07:00pm, 4-231
>No limit but advance sign up required (see instructions below)
>Single session event
>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.
>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.
