Why Aren’t Doctors Better at Predicting?


“Studies show that even though doctors tend to be optimistic, their personal observations are necessary for the most accurate prognosis. So we have to overcome our hesitation in giving bad news — and patients and their families need to be willing to hear what we’re saying.”
-- Manoj Jain, infectious-disease specialist in Memphis and an adjunct assistant professor at Emory University in Atlanta, writing in the Washington Post.

  1. I got up an hour early for my oral exam over zoom, check the schedule to be sure and it started in just 10 minutes. Skipped breakfast and just got the laptop ready... I passed at least.
