Ego's are the same. Now that we have access to material, you need to learn to make snap judgements on your patients. Some of us have had teaching doctors give us a pat on the back. We're not here to shoot you in the foot: we're here because we care and want to know about our problems, our options, how best to fix them. We can make your life easy. Let us help.
You might find that we can be quite useful.
