Excuse me doctor, what really motivates you? Howard Gardner the author of Five Minds for the Future, and the creator of Multiple Intelligences sat down for an interview on the television show Books of Our Time with host Lawrence R. Velvel, Dean of the Massachusetts School of Law to discuss the medical profession and its future. Gardner begins by discussing the power of American doctors, as they are not easily replaceable like many other professions. With societal dependence being the backbone of this power, Gardner discusses the question that each prospective doctor must ask himself or herself: their motivations. Motivations can be perverted by money and big business. Gardner warns us these perversions can be detrimental to a profession like medicine.
