Uncle Reggie Story: I love boards (2): From ward rounds to boards
曾叔叔讲故事:我爱理事会(第二部):从查房到理事会
(Andy/dz 翻译)

Continued from I love Boards (1) …….      从“我爱理事会(第一部)”继续讲…… Boards remind me of the charming but hugely effective exercise known as “medical ward rounds,” when the young resident doctor is questioned and challenged, during presentations to his professor(s), and a team of say 10 colleagues and nurses.
