St Elsewhere, medical drama, first episode 15 months after I started my family medicine residency in Lewiston Maine. Tonight, I watched it again.
I just realized none of the posts show on an iPad or a computer, but they do show on an iPhone. WordPress is working on this. In the meantime, please visit my Substack.
Osler said “Listen to your patient, he is telling you the diagnosis”. Duvefelt says “Listen to your patient, he is telling you what kind of doctor he needs you to be”.

I did my residency in Family Medicine in St. Mary Hospital in Hoboken, New Jersey from 1987-1990. They could have produced the St. Elsewhere series based on daily life at St. Mary Hospital. I will cherish my years there for the rest of my life. St. Elsewhere was one of my all time favorite TV series.
Why? Some special memory?
