Too lazy (or too smart) for primary care: which one are you?

My first role model as a doctor was a retired military surgeon in general medical practice in my hometown. He had a ready laugh. To my childhood eyes, he was the smartest guy around. He makes me feel better when I am sick!

The Annals of Internal Medicine point-counterpoint articles tries to answer the question on how to increase medical student interest in primary care by looking at what gets them interested. What do you think?

Too smart

Too lazy

How do YOU keep up with the medical literature?

     I have tried many ways of keeping up. I remember when I was a medical resident I tried to keep up by printing everything that I can get my hands on and ended up with piles of reprints that are unread. That does NOT work.
     The use of the educational prescription came next. This is one sheet of paper where I am supposed to keep track of my clinical questions from the description of the problem of a specific patient to the resolution of the problem by review of a journal article. I started that a few times with medical trainees but it does NOT get done. I am still working on a self-assessment module from ABIM using the same technology, and, you know the drill, it is still NOT done.
     Reading the following blog post, I am attracted to the "headlines, tweets, and abstracts" approach that is described. http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2013/10/medical-literature.html
     What is the best way to keep up with medical literature for ME? I guess it would be what works for me at this time. I read somewhere, on a different subject, that is like riding a bike - you will never know until you try. Try different ways to keep up - until you find what works for YOU!
