Subj: Re: [DR-L] QOD...Surviving the Critical Review
Date: Mon, 09 Oct 2006 10:31:26 -0400
Geoff is right. One must NOT believe reviews, GOOD or BAD ! Cut out
what is a useful quote for some future publicity and throw away the
rest. Be really dispassionate about the whole concept! (I know it
feels as if a bad review would discourage future audience attendance but
since you can't control it, you have to ignore it.)
Imagine how thin-skinned you might be if you hadn't had your medical
training !!!!
