Abstract
A medical presentation held without slides is not a medical presentation. The extremely rare exceptions to this rule include snobs, who intentionally want to be different, and chaotic people who, despite all efforts, are unable to finish preparing their slides in time for the presentation. An analysis of 5000 representative lectures presented last year showed that after a standard greeting, 90% of all speakers began with the sentence “The first slide please!”. We have always found it less than perfect to exclude the initial greeting from the slides.
