Stars Hollow Public Library’s Willard Romney-Trump VI aims a shotgun at two miscreants, Miss Kim and Mr. Kanye. The couple breaks into the SHPL looking for fuel (books!) to burn for warmth. Due to climate change, the U.S. and Canada are twin popsicles stuck in an ice age. Fifth-great grandson of Donald Trump, librarian Romney-Trump is an extreme book-lover. He will not hesitate to employ extreme measures to defend his library’s collection. Set in fictional hometown of the fictional the Gilmore Girls (Stars Hollow, Connecticut) two hundred years in the future, ELECTION 2220: Night of the Voting Dead uses big teeth to take big bites out of today’s body politic. Despite a wall — built and paid for by Mexico — most Americans still flee south where they are illegal aliens. Left behind in Stars Hollow, are zombies, vampires, werewolves, a Gilmore Girl, and climate-deniers descended from America’s first Denier-in-Chief, Donald Trump. That includes Willard. He has been enforcing library policy via mass murder for decades. The corpses have been dumped behind the library and left to freeze. Stars Hollow will hold a mayoral election in November 2220. Given the town’s Game of Thrones atmosphere, it will be nastiest in over two hundred years. African American, liberal democrat mayor Russell Limbaugh-Trump has been challenged by his severely conservative distant cousin Mrs. Sarah Palin-Trump. A rare 50-degree “heat wave” defrosts dead behind the library. Zombies walk again! Stars Hollow is now threatened by a putrid-faction demanding its right to vote. If zombies are given the vote, these stinkers might very well swing the election. That will make someone happy. Meanwhile, Willard, who is to blame for the chaos, tries to figure out his love life. He is torn between old flame Lorelei Gilmore, children’s librarian, and Merrily, a letter carrier for the Amazon Prime/ FEDEX/US Parcel Postal Service. Unknown to clueless Willard, both women hold dark secrets; neither is whom (or what) she appears to be. A plus, though; neither is descended from Donald Trump.

Medical competence is a hot topic surrounded by much controversy about how to define competency, how to teach it, and how to measure it. While some debate the pros and cons of competence-based medical education and others explain how to achieve various competencies, the authors of the seven chapters in The Question of Competence offer something very different. They critique the very notion of competence itself and attend to how it has shaped what we pay attention to—and what we ignore—in the education and assessment of medical trainees. Two leading figures in the field of medical education, Brian D. Hodges and Lorelei Lingard, drew together colleagues from the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands to explore competency from different perspectives, in order to spark thoughtful discussion and debate on the subject. The critical analyses included in the book’s chapters cover the role of emotion, the implications of teamwork, interprofessional frameworks, the construction of expertise, new directions for assessment, models of self-regulation, and the concept of mindful practice. The authors juxtapose the idea of competence with other highly valued ideas in medical education such as emotion, cognition and teamwork, drawing new insights about their intersections and implications for one another.
