...teachers would have blasted me. We train hard in medicine is to develop good clinical judgment: a feel for things. It's a lot like what tells a good cook the roast is ready, or a good teacher that the kid nodding in back doesn't really understand. Clinical judgment often makes a doctor do things the "objective tests" do not support. Trusting what you see in the patient more than what you find in the chart is a common exercise of medical judgment. You see it used by the doctor starting antibiotics on a sick child with a negative...
...Iraq and can relate all too well to many of the points raised in the cover story [April 23]. It is important for the American people to know the state of the Army. Many of my fellow junior officers are leaving because of frequent and lengthy deployments. We all understand the call to serve and have done so without complaint and with distinction. But there is no substitute for spending time with your wife or children-something multiple deployments have taken away. The Army is at a crossroads, and the only way to prevent a further decline in readiness...

...could never understand why anyone would want to listen to Imus even before his "nappy-headed hos" debacle, but Ican't help wondering whether his castigation illustrates a double standard. If Chris Rock were to say the same thing, he'd probably get another HBO special. Isn't it time we all stand up and say that race, gender, sexual orientation and nationality are off limits for cracking jokes? Humor is great, but let's not tolerate it at another's expense.

...easily understand why the RIAA wants help from universities in facilitating its enforcement actions against students who download copyrighted music without paying for it. It is easier to litigate against change than to change with it. If the RIAA saw a better way to protect its existing business, it would not be threatening our students, forcing our librarians and administrators to be copyright police, and flooding our courts with lawsuits against relatively defenseless families without lawyers or ready means to pay. We can even understand the attraction of using lawsuits to shore up an aging business model rather than engaging...
