This was very helpful even though I am primarily an outpatient provider dealing with Type 2 diabetics. I love the way Matthew "confesses" his past mistakes. I do this with my students also and feel it is one of the best ways to teach. I think it unbelievable when he states that he is the "stupid one of the group". I think there are many physicians listening to the podcast that would love to be as "stupid" as him (me included). It takes confidence to admit when you did something less than perfect. I admire your modesty.
