Of course there’s multiple studies out there which, like pilots, the older doctors get the less they stay up on current practices. But a Dr from Yale must be the best out there, especially one in his 70s and there’s no mandatory retirement.
Sarcasm. Yes it is, but the point needs to be made. If I can find the reports easily how come this Dr. seems to say this is something totally new?
Just watching from the cheap seats.
Quite possibly because it truly is new in ways that are far beyond the scope of what can be gleaned from the internet.
I am not picking on you per se, but an easy trap for us to fall into is thinking that a little research with google provides us with an insight and depth of understanding that is impossible in subjects that people spend decades learning.
The internet has insidiously lead us to believe that we have far more understanding of many different areas of human thought and endeavor than we should. Truly a little knowledge, particularly when we wield it (collectively) in the political arena, is probably more harmful than self aware ignorance.
