Ian Cook of CarpeDiem MD received advice as a resident: “become a tripod”. Well, Ian took that advice and turned it into even better advice: become a stable table. What does he mean by that?

Some people might argue that a table has four leg. But, some tables CAN stand on three legs, right? And they’re still stable? Exactly. You get the point.
