"that's just how modern medicine work"

Or doesn't work. We don't accept this in other areas why medicine? Modern medicine in a lot of cases is as modern as when the doctor went to school and stops evolving once school finishes.

There is a disconnect between research and medical knowledge by frontline workers.

I just wanted to point out that while I can empathize with this sentiment, in the United States at least, physicians must undergo yearly retrainings to earn continuing education credits (for medicine) and there is a certain number of credits that must be acquired on a yearly basis.

That is true for Germany as well. However you can get credit points through the attendance of pharma sponsored conferences.

There's an initiative called MEZIS (Mein Essen zahle ich selbst - "I pay for my lunch myself") that wants to end this practice. https://mezis.de/
