It's fairly well accepted [citation needed?] that the most effective form of academic education is private tutoring by skilled tutors. We're (possibly) on the cusp of that being accessible to everyone via LLMs.

In that brave new world schools need to shift towards a focus on development of personal character. MDs, at least those that you speak to in person, need to focus on bedside manner.

I once chatted with a professor Doctor who was of the opinion that most people going into med school probably would've had decent bedside manners if left to their own devices, but between there and internship, 95% of them wind up having it all trained out of them.

Do people wind up in (what we would call) hospital in BNW, or do they get given an overdose* of soma while the next one gets decanted?

* compare George V's last moments (time, manner, and place; especially time) I'd call it an influence, except it happened 4 years after BNW was published.
