It does have one downside though: The more specialized doctors become in their respective few fields, the narrower their initial thoughts and processes become when treating patients which in extremely unfortunate cases can mean a missed diagnosis of a sickness or even wrong diagnosis and treatment.

Thankfully students still have to go through insanely massive amounts of general medical knowledge in their way to a doctorate.

Hey, if you ever wanna chat with someone who was raised as protestant Christian in Germany, hit me up. I'm always astonished about how much more extreme Christianity is taught and (often forcefully) lived in the States, because it is so far from the religion and beliefs me and my family grew up with.
Obviously my views on things are a lot less ... pious and church over here leaves a lot more personal freedom (kinda focusses on it too, always balancing the individual and the community), so I dunno if that's even of interest at all.
