Physicians who publish in peer review journals and not better than those who do not publish, at least in my experience. Papers are hard to write , should be written about something unusual or definitely useful, they are not necessary either. I am a nurse who has published 3 times, following those criteria. It is not easy publishing under those circumstances ( being a nurse who published in medical journals, probably accepted because I was an Infection Control Nurse , constantly running into unusual things ) they were surely unusual, too and no ones fault, things just happen. Can't say I was a better Infection Control Nurse than others. Nita Chris van der Linden wrote: > More importantly, how can you see patients properly, when you publish that > often.
