The answer: “Paradox.” The question: “What do you get when you put an MD and a PhD in the same room together?” Ok, ok, bad bun but it does provide an introduction to the subject of paradoxes. Among my favorites are "strength and weakness." You gain strength when you exercise a muscle to the point of fatigue – immunity and well-being often result from exposure to the very thing that makes you sick or uneasy -- while success and comfort are instructive, our more effective teachers are more typically challenge and pain. Got a favorite paradox? Pass it along.
