Sitting here in My Hospital's library, I looked at the reference shelf and saw a brand-new, 2007 set of World Book encyclopedias. Which leads me to wonder:
1) who uses encyclopedias anymore?
2) what DOCTOR uses an encyclopedia? Do my fellows MD's often need to write book reports on the Philippines? It's not like I walk around the ward saying, "hm, what's the pathophysiology of autoimmune hypoparathyroidism? I think I'll look it up in the encyclopedia!"
Waste of cash, I think.
Does your hospital have an elementary school contained within its walls?
ReplyDeleteNo, and its day care is down the street, so that can't be it, either.
ReplyDeleteMaybe there's some pre-pre-pre-pre-med program for 8 year olds sponsored by MH that I am unaware of.
