I recently heard Dan Sulmasy give an ethics talk at a conference. Like me, Dan is a general internist. In his talk, he quoted a former President of the Society of General Internal Medicine and I thought I’d pass the quote along.
That former President was Nicole Lurie, who now works for the federal government to prepare us for things like health disasters. She was giving advice to physician researchers who encounter awful situations of social injustice while caring for underprivileged patients. Her advice:
Don’t get mad. Get data!
Are you surprised that a research geek like me would like that quote?
