Traditional medical education (before book learning and academization) was based on seeing patients first, after a short preliminary preparation phase in anatomy, physiology, pathology and methodology. Bringing back this mental competency into medicalization requires the general and basic medical professional, who afterwards may embark on much higher studies and research, but starts with a patient-oriented clinical 'apprenticeship'. Another point is the neglect of medical diagnostics in curricula, which most physicians learn-by-doing, after graduation. This skill should factually be-come a methodical core competency, before any graduation.
