“…We thank Dr Ribeiro and his colleagues for their thoughtful letter to the editor. 1 The medical therapy (MT) protocol was designed with the reality in mind that patients with peritonsillar abscess (PTA) are almost uniformly diagnosed clinically in the Southern California Permanente Medical Group (SCPMG) emergency department (ED) without the aid of a computed tomography (CT) scan or an ultrasound. Controls were placed in the protocol to protect patients and minimize risk, the most important control being that patients must have uncomplicated PTAs and the next most important being that patients follow up with an otolaryngologist the next morning.…”

Letters to the Editor 399 to medical students through lecture sessions has become a less fruitful endeavor in this day, as many students prefer to watch the recorded lectures (played back at 2× speed) than attend them live. Personal contact now occurs chiefly through handson workshops (suture laboratory, physical examination sessions, problem-based learning sessions) or ambulatory clinical experiences. In addition, many medical schools have a mission to graduate physicians with a primary care focus, which competes for the attention of medical students.Physician mentorship will continue to remain an important component of recruiting and advising residency applicants. How this mentorship is conducted has larger implications in not only increasing the quantity of applicants but also shaping the composition of that pipeline. If we prioritize equality and opportunity, this mentorship needs to be encouraging and welcoming, not discouraging and exclusive. For otolaryngology to remain vibrant and healthy, there needs to be continued mentoring that is mindful of our biases, yearns for what is good, looks beyond traditional metrics of meritocracy, and strives to achieve the very best of ourselves.It is easy to talk the talk; we need the strength and boldness to walk the walk.
