Competitors In Training

We spend seven to twelve years training medical students and resident physicians to work as a team. "Cooperate for the good of your patients!"

But the day they graduate, we spill the beans. "It's a dog-eat-dog world out there. Ya gotta compete if you're gonna survive."

The poor kids just spent a decade earning a Ph.D. in Cognitive Dissonance.

Apologies to thirty years of trainees.
