That’s “translational medicine” or “translational science” —> getting lab proven stuff to the bedside.

And yeah, it can take a while.

My dream is to a have a dumb doctor/mechanic/plumber/blah that just researches even the most basic questions unless it’s something really odd-ball and only then defaulting to their “expert opinion”.

I've thought for a long time that medicine in the AI era would end up with nurses being even more important than they are today but with doctors being drastically less so. (I know next to nothing about healthcare; this is just a guess!)
