[1] Young Doctors Learn Quickly in the Hot Seat - "Does grilling medical students with questions make them into better doctors? For years, many professors routinely peppered students with relevant and arcane queries, often embarrassing them. Things may be gentler today, but the practice, referred to as the "pimping" of students, still has its advocates." (via [2] KevinMD.)
While a little bit of "pimping" goes on at the Milton Cato Memorial Hospital, it is hardly malicious in nature, and most of the time the questions are things we should know, rather than the arcane details asked on exams.
