Annie Duke, a former World Series of Poker champion, details some of the psychology of decision making in the high-risk gambling in her book, Thinking in Bets. In poker, important decisions must be made quickly in the midst of extreme uncertainty and repeated in rapid succession with each new hand. To learn and improve in this environment, these players learn to embrace uncertainty, tease the luck out of their outcomes and avoid common biases when reviewing their prior performance. As doctors working in Emergency Medicine we often have do the same thing and the wrong decision could potentially be fatal. In this episode of Rebel Reflections, four Emergency Medicine Physicians, Jacob White, Marco Propersi, Dan Wolf and Will Smith, discuss how thinking in bets while dealing with levels of uncertainty can benefit our performance and learning in the Emergency Department.
We will discuss these topics and many more on this episode of REBEL Reflections! |
