Yes, it is kind of scary that doctors are still practising on us, but that seems to be the case. It's true that they will probably never perfect their craft but they are always learning.

you're right... new cases means new study and new practice... they are always learning, as what you've said. thanks for the reply =)

They can never perfect their technique, therefore practice.
