Success in research is the currency of credibility in 'scholarship' should be an enduring requirement medical schools throughout the world; and the of teachers.

The responsibility is one to be taken seriously at two levels, both personally, to disease. At the same time we must be openly critical of the damage that has been done by the ensure continued personal professional growth, trivialization of original thinking and investiga- and on behalf of the discipline, to answer the tion implicit in the 'publish or perish' mentality legitimate criticisms of patients and hospital which is now so clearly identified with the
