Well that’s the point - the old doctors aren’t as up-to-date with more modern effective treatments as the younger ones and by now even the old ones are all just pharma reps any way.
There’s a big difference in surgeons the other way where treatment outcomes are worse for new surgeons and measurably better once they’ve got a few hundred surgeries under their belt which makes sense when you think about it from a practice perspective.
"up to date" is a meaningless sentence, always was.
up to date for whom, to do what...
Measured effective outcomes of treatment.
The surgeon example was on testicular cancer if I recall and there was a variance of 7-8% in more senior surgeons over junior from recurrence of cancer at a 1 year interval.
You can argue about specific treatments or how outcomes are measured, but some modern medical treatments truly are good and the old guard aren’t keeping up with newer knowledge as readily as the younger Gen who are exposed to more of it through their education and ongoing self-learning whereas the practical interventions of surgery require more attempts to hone the skills although the exact nature of why the outcomes are measurably different aren’t understood.
Better off not eating shit, irradiating yourself & otherwise fucking up your immune system in the first place & when you pass its eventual used by date, it ain't going to matter what you do...
