To really keep up with developments, about 300 hours of study per year are required for a fast learner. The fact that medical boards must require thirty documented hours per year reveals how little continued learning is valued by most doctors compared to such things as, for example, managing their business interests. Most doctors study thousands of hours to make it through each year of medical training, and after that, they feel entitled to believe whatever they did not learn is not worth learning. If I didn't hear about it in medical school, it must not be any good. That is the unfortunate, unspoken and sometimes spoken attitude.
All good teachers think for themselves.
The Allopathic Paradigm A paradigm is a model for how things are. It is so deeply believed as to be unexaminable by the person who holds to that paradigm. A paradigm is an unconscious belief that organizes the perception of reality. For example, the paradigm for war is conflict. It is not possible to think for yourself until you become aware of the nature of paradigms and conscious of your own particular paradigms.
