What's wrong with what you learn?



I love this quote and just saw it again on the Evidence 2013 conference site (http://www.evidencelive.org/student-delegates)

"Half of what you are taught as medical students will in 10 years have been shown to be wrong.

And the trouble is none of your teachers know which half"
