Academic Life in Emergency Medicine
presents a hypothetical case of pimping on rounds that didn't
go well. The follow up discussion lacked clarity because of
confusion on just what pimping is. One of the discussants, for
example, expounded what was wrong with pimping then went on to
suggest ways to pimp more effectively. If pimping is merely teaching
by asking questions then it is the Socratic method. It can be either
abusive or constructive. Here's a discussion of Socratic teaching
from The Pathology Guy.
