>When was the last time the scientific community had this high consensus on a developing area?
I think it was back when stomach ulcer was considered the result of acid imbalance. It was not:

>In 1983 they submitted their findings so far to the Gastroenterological Society of Australia, but the reviewers turned their paper down, rating it in the bottom 10% of those they received in 1983.[12]

One Nobel Prize later, consensus was different.

Leo Esaki is another case of a lone scientist demonstrating the majority was wrong and got a Nobel Prize (Physics) for it.

Back in the day when I was a student we were read the riot act on excessive consensus. And Leo Esaki was given as an example. I guess most real scientists know these stories.

The most accurate description of medicine by far

Yeah, there it is.

If you could become a doctor, what specialty would you choose?

Med student. Which specialty should I choose, /sci/? I want a specialty that emphasizes critical thinking over repetitive procedures, pays well, and actually changes people's lives.

I would move down pediatricians and neurologists, neurology is mostly armchair intellectuals with a superiority complex. Maybe I'm just buttblasted that I feel like a brainlet when studying neurology. Neurosurgeon is amazing tho.
