> Modern medicine in a lot of cases is as modern as when the doctor went to school and stops evolving once school finishes.

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.

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/
