interesting event within the world of our medicine friends
apparently the ABIM removed the board certification of 139 doctors
for cheating by remembering questions and reporting the questions to a board review course

"Roughly two months later (after taking board exam), doctor emails head of board review course, informing him she was including about 500 questions that she and her friends had remembered"
