And you thought law school was bad... While all lawyers and law students know what the Socratic method is, I've not yet seen such a thorough discussion of using it to completely decimate a student's will to go on. Doctors, apparently, like to write all about the medical analogue to the Socratic method. And how could they not? They call it pimping.
On the surface, the aim of pimping appears to be Socratic instruction. The deeper motivation, however, is political. Proper pimping inculcates the intern with a profound and abiding respect for his attending physician while ridding the intern of needless self-esteem. Furthermore, after being pimped, he is drained of the desire to ask new questions -- questions that his attending may be unable to answer.
From Force of Mouth.
Actually, draining the hand-raisers of their self-esteem might be quite a good thing indeed. Here's to pimping!
If I was to want to learn the game, what advise would you be able to give me? I'm a young man and I would like to know the real game, from the best in the business.....Pimpin' Ken and others like that........
