Greetings, everyone!
First year medical student here, from Europe. My interest in medicine is enourmous. The problem that I have is whenever I read something from the textbook, I always,always search in google, or from some good authors on the subject to backup the information from the textbook.
For example, I learn cytology(endoplasmic reticulum) and the textbook that we use from my university was published in 1999. This makes me read everything with a grain of salt, and makes me look for additional information on google, some well known authors (Morris and Junquiera), and watch videos on the subject. However, everytime I encounter diffrent info on the subject, some of the author includes this, the other doesn't and vice verca.
So this is my problem, I don't want to waste time to learn something that isn't true or outdated, but what I find myself doing is that in this way I lose time in these kind of studies, because there is a ton of information and want to know it all?
Maybe it is not so important after all, and just stick to the basics?
