Three episodes, separated from each other by time and place, have made me question whether the Hegelian dialectic approach I had considered most appropriate is of value today with the current generation of residents. These individuals were born and nurtured in a society in which information regarding virtually all events is obtained mainly from television, either as sound bites or in neatly packaged discussions among talking heads who claim Panglossian pedantic wisdom in all topics. The three unrelated events all involved the unexpected reactions I received after making presentations to groups of residents on subjects I had long considered important to the basic education of fledging surgeons.
