His final words (on Twitter)
Adam Cifu (@adamcifu) describes himself as "Internist, professor, patient." His final words on Twitter may be shared by most aging medical doctors I know… except, maybe for the NNT
- I still like the number needed to treat.
- Observational studies should not guide practice.
- If I had to do it all again, I would be doing the same job.
- As you spend time in your practice, more of your friends become your patients, and more of your patients become your friends.
- Medicine is so hard because there are a finite (but unknowable) number of diseases that can present in an infinite number of ways.
