There is probably something wrong in the way medicine is being taught. Unlike physics, medicine might be still a largely empirical occupation, devoid of rigorous experimentation and evidence based science. It is slowly changing. For many years, the cause of peptic ulcers was thought to be stress - countless doctors repeating this mantra to the patient. It took a heroic act of Barry Marshall [1] to conduct an experiment (on himself) and demonstrate that it is, indeed, false, and identify the root cause. I wish we approached medicine more like physics and less as a closed and secretive (and lucrative) skill. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Marshall https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Marshall
