A Wise Man Once Said:"If you want to know how we practiced medicine 5 years ago,
read a textbook.
If you want to know how we practiced medicine 2 years ago, read a journal.
If you want to know how we practice medicine now,
go to a conference.
If you want to know how we will practice medicine in the future, listen in the hallways and use FOAM."
- Prof. Joe Lex
