Long gone are the days of memorizing everything from the latest medical textbooks containing already outdated information even before they were printed. While memorization is still key and important for doctors, it's not the only thing they need anymore.
There are tons of medical journals and research published every year and the best doctors now are the ones who can find and search the most up-to-date information faster than everyone. |

I can't wait to drop this on my practicum students next time someone asks if they can use listening to a podcast in their car for clinical hours.

There are really detailed videos. In theory, I could remove your appendix. You shouldn't bet your life on it though... unless you have no other choice.
