Lessons from The Princess Bride

Home Lessons from The Princess Bride
mattu

A successful career in critical care medicine can be accomplished by following some basic principles in life.

These principles are known to all…they are learned from parents, mentors and colleagues, but they are often at first not appreciated or recognized.

Amal discusses many of these principles as he discusses an all-time classic movie, The Princess Bride.

This movie, beloved by millions around the world, demonstrates and teaches many of those basic principles that, the speaker argues, can lead to a successful career in critical care medicine.
