Most doctors freely admit that they do everything they can to work the system. "As much as we all value fairness, if you think you can get some special attention for someone who's important to you ... I don't know anybody who would not play that card," says Michael McKee, vice chairman of psychology and psychiatry at the Cleveland Clinic. But talk to doctors about their experiences and you'll be surprised by how little power they have to bend the system to their will...
...think of hospitals as cathedrals of science, yet doctors walk around with their pockets stuffed with 3-by-5 cards on which they write patient information; when they sign off for the day they read from the card to the doctor coming on duty.

Christensen rebounded from rounds of 84 and 83 to close out the tournament with...

In just the second start of his collegiate career, he hit a hard line drive to center—his first collegiate base knock—and then laid down a key sacrifice bunt in the seventh before notching an RBI single in the eighth...
