A sight no patient should see
I always appreciate it when session presenters try to engage the audience by asking multiple choice questions (especially when I can guess the answer by looking ahead to the next slide). But today's precourse session on hormone use was remarkable for how many of the questions the audience got wrong. On several questions, there were some hands raised for every single option! Guess it goes to show that they were good, tough questions. And to be fair, in some cases there were multiple correct answers. But for those of us on the outside of medicine, it's a little scary to think any randomly selected physician might give you a different randomly selected prescription. Not to worry, though, three more days of CME should fix all that.
