Extensive Reading Reaction - March, 24
Hi guys,
In my extensive reading I found an interesting citation which shows how the economic interested is linked with everything.
In one passage from the book, the author give us an example about how the doctors sometimes do some procedures even when they don't think that it is necessary, but only to maintain the relationship with their others colleagues of profession.
So, the book give us this example: "If you're an invasive cardiologist and Joe Smith, the local internist, is sending you patients, and if you tell them they don't need the procedure, pretty soon Joe Smith doesn't send patients anymore."
This example above show us how so many times the profit can be a priority even inside ethics questions like the medical liability.
It is a fact that I always heard about, but it is sad when you see that it really happens.

Which event, fact, or character were more interesting about what you read
Hey Folks,
In my extensive read today I picked up something interesting about the KKK from my book Freakonomics.
It was really interesting to see how the KKK used to recognise themselves. They used to use a code to identify others members in different towns.
The members from KKK used to ask to the others if they knew "Mr Ayak", what means "Are you a klansman?", and if the answer was "Yes, and I also know a Mr. Akai", this "Akai" meant "A Klansman Am I", what was a positive response of identification of a member.
It was interesting to read because looks like things that we see in fictional books and we usually think that it doesn't exist because it is really silly.
The KKK and their ultra-secret society....
hahahahaha
