In fact, the best clinical diagnostic thinking is more like the forming of a mosaic than linear thinking: It requires the physician to constantly alter diagnoses as each new piece of data enters the picture. One conceives constantly of many possible diagnoses…
How is curiosity suppressed in medical students and physicians? It is. I have discovered, in nonclinical settings, that students who, on the wards, seem totally without curiosity or culture—dolts, in short—were, in their private worlds, avid poets, artists, musicians, and craftspersons of exquisite skill, vitally interested in a wide range of topics. They just did not think it wise to let anyone know because they had received a message from housestaff, faculty, or peers that interest in anything other than purely biological medicine was inappropriate for a medical student.

وتبصَّر في شؤون الدنيا، فإنَّ بها ما يُعينُ عليها، ويعزِّي النفس بإذن الله عند نزول النائبة. وانظر إلى مَن هم دونك في كلِّ حالٍ ومقام، وانظر إلى مَن قَلَّ مالُهُ، ووَهنت حيلتُهُ، واشتدَّ داؤه، ونأت ديارُهُ، فَهُم أحقّ بأنْ يميطوا لك اللثام عن وجه الدهر الدميم مِن غيرهم. وانظر يا أخا العشرين إلى الذين جاوزوا الستين، وتفكّر في مَن وارَتهم اللحود، وتأمَّل أيامهم التي بادت وقد أفنوها بالتَّحسُّر على ما فات، والرجاء مِما هو آت، وما يفوتُهم إلا الحُلُم، وما يأتِيهم إلا الموت. واسترشد رحمك الله بالأدب، وأدِّب نفسك أيما أدب، فإن النفسَ التي تأدَّبت تحملُ بعضها على بعض، وتعاضدُ بعضها على بعض، فإن لانَ القلبُ شدَّ العقل، وإن ضلّ العقلُ هدى القلب، وإن شدَّ عليهما الدهر طاعاه، وإن أرخى زمامهُ شدَّا عليه، وإنَّ بالأدب سلوة وعزاء كفيلانِ بأن يُجمّلا عيشك ويشدّان أزرك إن شاء الله بيوم الكرب العظيم.

"It is not enough that you understand in what ignorance man and beast live; you must also have and acquire the will to ignorance. You need to grasp that without this kind of ignorance life itself would be impossible, that it is a condition underwhich alone the living thing can preserve itself and prosper: a great, firm dome of ignorance must encompass you."

A few steps back. — One, certainly very high level of culture has been attained when a man emerges from superstitious and religious concepts and fears and no longer believes in angels, for example, or in original sin, and has ceased to speak of the salvation of souls: if he is at this level of liberation he now has, with the greatest exertion of mind, to overcome metaphysics. Then, however, he needs to take a retrograde step: he has to grasp the historical justification that resides in such ideas, likewise the psychological; he has to recognize that they have been most responsible for the advancement of mankind and that without such a retrograde step he will deprive himself of the best that mankind has hitherto produced. -In regard to philosophical metaphysics, I see more and more who are making for the negative goal (that all positive metaphysics is an error), but still few who are taking a few steps back; for one may well want to look out over the topmost rung of the ladder, but one ought not to want to stand on it. The most enlightened get only as far as liberating themselves from metaphysics and looking back on it from above: whereas here too, as in the hippodrome, at the end of the track it is necessary to turn the corner.
