AB Thoughtful  clinical  decision  making  often  contributes  more  to  the  patient's  outcome  than  dramatic  and  innovative  interventions  or  cutting-edge  technology.Formulate  clinical  hypotheses,  then  test  them.Define  therapeutic  goals  and  seek  the  least  intensive  intervention  that  achieves  each.Novel  treatments  require  objective  clinical  trials  before  they  are  implemented,  and  traditional  therapies  require  clarification  of  goals  and  adverse  effects  in  each  patient  before  their  use  can  be  optimized.Determine  daily  whether  the  appropriate  therapeutic  goal  is  treatment  for  cure  or  treatment  for  palliation.Critical  care  is  invigorated  by  a  scholarly  approach,  involving  teaching,  learning,  and  performing  research.
