Have you ever noticed how studying from some medical textbooks drives you crazy? Instead of answering your questions, they somehow manage to give you ten more? After hours and hours of reading, your energy is drained, your coffee has gone cold, and you start wondering whether you are reading a medical book or trying to decode an ancient language. Every medical student has that book in which he reads a single paragraph over and over again only to realize he still has no idea what it means.
