The entire medical profession exists in a slipper slope due to the incredible volume of information a medical education requires. There is no way to validate, or even consider the validity of much of what is taught. Friends in med school went through personal crisis as they came to terms with their complete inability to verify the volume of all the information they were being taught. Trying to track down original resources and derive to current thinking proved too much for one friend, and she quit med school saying the layers of assumptions on tangential research then used a foundation for further research was way too thin, and she is now afraid of medical doctors, calling the profession dangerous blind parrots.
