Great effort and emphasis have been placed on how we learn and how best to teach the various aspects of medicine. This is particularly so with regards to breaking bad news and communicating with patients and families. Some of my early experiences as a resident have taught me that one of the oldest and most basic methods of learning remains one of the most effective. Seeing others do things well and seeing them do things badly is a crucial and powerful method of learning.
