3 Regret, Religion and Rationing: A bridge too far? The nature of suffering and the goals of medicine. Cassel EJ NEJM 1982;306: the relief of suffering and the cure of disease must be seen as the twin obligations of a medical profession that is truly dedicated to the care of the sick Physicians [ and families] failure to understand the nature of suffering..

10 Economics at the bedside: A bridge too far? Cases to ponder: 2b. Meet Letisha: You order a C.T. The family adores you because you are an attentive & thoughtful, comprehensive doctor they felt they were in your care! Your Attending rewards you for thinking broadly & ordering more tests to assess your hypotheses. You inadvertently drive up the cost of Pneumonia management!
11 Economics at the bedside: A bridge too far? Cases to ponder: 2c. Meet Letisha: And so it begins for doctors the wrong incentives framework subliminally placed during training Lifelong lesson Patient-centred care, right?
12 Economics at the bedside: A bridge too far? Cases to ponder: 3a. Meet Jasna: You are the head of the P&T committee at your hospital.
