Correctly so. In my time ( and even now), medical textbooks were littered with theory after theory as to how various diseases were caused. Cancer for example had 6 theories as I remember it. With thousand of diseases on the dock to learn all smart med. students ( that was all of us, GGG ) soon realized that you could not and there was no need to learn all that cr'p especially if you had to learn well all the other stuff you really had to know. So we all solved the Theory Problem in a very elegant fashion, ( as is usual for very bright physicians to do ): We asked: What is this Professor's favorite theory for the diseases he teaches? We then proceed to make sure that we knew very well his theory and added a sprinkle of the left over theories. The unusually bright ( that probably included me, GG ) also learned every shade of color, every nuance of the Professor's theory. No matter how far fetched or crazy we would dish it back to him in full version! This approach, bundled with good knowledge of the basic material usually got you an A+, ( and a big smile on his face ), GGG TA Message #963 from Nate at Sep 23 1999 9:09AM they eventually found a compromise for einstien's quantum machanics theory, the schrodinger's equation. they used that to prove matter could be in two states as once.

Learning theories after a while proves to be a giant waste of limited neuronal energy. Theories sometimes I think is an intellectual escape route for our University elites so that they can hide the fact that basically they don't know. ( Hard for any primadonna Prof. to admit he doesn't know ,ggg). ------------------------- Message #963 from Nate at Sep 23 1999 9:09AM they eventually found a compromise for einstien's quantum machanics theory, the schrodinger's equation. they used that to prove matter could be in two states as once.
