Petit manuel de traduction a l'usage des enfants mourants

Abstract

CMAJ’s call for entertaining Holiday Reading fare attracted a cornucopia of tantalizing submissions, resulting in some very difficult decisions. Thank you to our esteemed panel of humour aficionados, Sarah Currie, Erin Driscoll, Jesse Elliot, Diane Kelsall, Wayne Kondro and Leesa Sullivan, and to our talented designer Carole Lalonde. And a special thank you to everyone who submitted a manuscript. For more holiday reading, please go online and check out: • Elevators of stairs? Have you ever wondered which is faster on shorter jaunts? Our intrepid researchers reveal all in this fast-paced research. • The art of presenting The consummate how-not-to instruction aid, to ensure that you never get asked to present again. Ever. Invaluable reading for young physicians. • “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the actuaries” Shakespeare said it first, but our author adds a contemporary twist in the context of our aging population. Don’t be a stat. We wish you an hour or so of entertaining reading over the holidays. — Barbara Sibbald, Deputy Editor, Humour, CMAJ
