This is why I think preclinical medical education should be abbreviated across the board. Learning is best done in context. Anchor the abstractions to the concrete.
Acquiring knowledge is easy, the hard part is knowing what to apply and when. That’s why all true learning is “on the job.” Life is lived in the arena.
Nothing more bonkers than lung surfactant. Almost all premature babies (not just the extremely premature ones) used to die, within hours. Now they almost all live.
What's a modern minor medical treatment that is just bonkers effective, like you'd painfully die for weeks if this happened 400 years ago.
