The Triple Threat….
Protect patients from placebos
Have student/resident around to catch your pearls
( . . . and live fabulously)
![Page 6: How I Became a Clinician-Educator Lawrence S. Friedman, MD](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cdc5503460f949a6e10/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The triple threat is a state of mind.
It’s better to do one thing superbly than all things very well.

Rule #1
Read, read, read . . .
then read some more.
![Page 9: How I Became a Clinician-Educator Lawrence S. Friedman, MD](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cdc5503460f949a6e10/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
It is astonishing how little reading a doctor can do to practise medicine, but it is not astonishing how badly he may do it.
William Osler, MD

Reading
For any topic, someone will always know more than you.
Everyone else thinks they know more than you.
![Page 11: How I Became a Clinician-Educator Lawrence S. Friedman, MD](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cdc5503460f949a6e10/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Reading
General (the news)
Specific (about patients)
![Page 12: How I Became a Clinician-Educator Lawrence S. Friedman, MD](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cdc5503460f949a6e10/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
To study the phenomena of disease without books is to sail an unchartered sea, while to study books without patients is not to go to sea at all.
William Osler, MD
![Page 13: How I Became a Clinician-Educator Lawrence S. Friedman, MD](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cdc5503460f949a6e10/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Rule #2
Write, write, write . . .
![Page 14: How I Became a Clinician-Educator Lawrence S. Friedman, MD](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cdc5503460f949a6e10/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Writing
1. Organizes your thoughts
2. Clarifies complexities
3. Improves patient care
4. Improves teaching
5. A publication is a frequent flyer coupon . . .accumulate enough, and you can upgrade
Publications are the currency of academic promotion.

Have a mentor and role models.

The Boss
Does not remake you into a molecular biologist
Appreciates what your value is
Understands your values
Removes hurdles and open doors
![Page 18: How I Became a Clinician-Educator Lawrence S. Friedman, MD](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062515/56649cdc5503460f949a6e10/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
If you become the Boss . . .
You must delight in other people’s successes and in helping them solve their problems.
But don’t let administration get in the way of your work.
