I’ve taught a lot of medical students and young residents over the years. You occasionally find the broken one who is unable to think independently and become the self-motivated adult learner that is really required to work in the field.
-Most of the ones in medical school are likely to fail.
-Those few who manage to squeak through and pass medical school almost always wash out of residency and go off to work in some fail-boat doc in a box style urgent care never having finished the most substantial and important part of their medical training.
DSM: there is no argument you’re going to win here. I already know the answer. I also know you won’t listen to me. You’ve already shit on work I’ve done for you in the past. You were then (and I expect you probably still are) incapable of understanding the data you were given. Perhaps you’ll be more prone to a “eureka” moment if you gather the data yourself.
Put down the napkin and the calculator. Go forth and parse! Pick a zone, pick some targets. Gather data. Lots of it! Then go somewhere else fun and do it again. I promise over time it will all fall into place. It doesn’t have to be a chore.
