TY - JOUR T1 - How to read clinical journals: X. How to react when your colleagues haven't read a thing JF - Canadian Medical Association Journal JO - CMAJ SP - 1570 LP - 1572 VL - 163 IS - 12 AU - Steven L. Shumak AU - Donald A. Redelmeier Y1 - 2000/12/12 UR - http://www.cmaj.ca/content/163/12/1570.abstract N2 - Physicians receive little instruction on how to interact with colleagues, and even less guidance on what to do when their colleagues are poorly informed.

If employed properly and used judiciously, these techniques may help avoid embarrassment for all and may also improve the exchange of valuable information between professionals. ER -
