How much easier was medical school back in the day

Less information with less resources. More information yet more resources. You’re not understanding the context of interesting. It’s not a bed time story I want to hear— it’s interesting from the perspective that we can google Necrolytic Erythema Migrans in .2 seconds or open First Aid. Not going to the library with a list of patient problems and trying to put the puzzle together with endocrinology and dermatology texts. So you can argue that it was “less information”, but you can also make the argument that information was harder to come by and required a lot more work to come by.

It’s two different spectrums of medicine. They both have their pro’s and con’s, but the idea that medical school was significantly easier then than now is the point I’m disputing. And it’s a ridiculous claim.
