Learning Medicine
• If you want to know how we practiced medicine 5 years ago,
read a textbook.
• If you want to know how we practiced medicine 2 years ago,
read a journal.
• If you want to know how we practice medicine now, go to a
(good) conference.
• If you want to know how we will practice medicine in the
future, use Internet .
