Postdural puncture headache and the arduous quest to teach old docs new tricks.

摘要

I recently caught a rerun of one of my favorite episodes of Scrubs. It introduces Nephrologist Dr. Doug Townshend (expertly played by Dick Van Dyke) to Sacred Heart Hospital as best Mend and antithesis of Chief of Medicine Dr. Bob Kelso. After an outdated technique leads to a poor outcome, Dr. Kelso confronts his friend about his obsolete treatment regimens, to which Dr. Townshend responds simply, "Come on, Bob... guys like us, we're set in our ways." Once Dr. Kelso expounds on how he "[spends] eveiy other weekend at a seminar in some two-star hotel ballroom... because [he has] to keep up," his friend admits that he doesn't have the energy to do that anymore [1].
