Are doctors pretty much geniuses for being able to know & remember so much? i like medical stuff but can't stand miniature details. how do you do that

We love any detail: That can help us help others. Once used in that way it is rarely forgotten because it is real life and sometimes saves a life.

You got it all wrong: You don't need to remember everything. No one can. You DO need to know where to FIND it. Doctors are very smart people. If you've ever been around a genius, you know there's a BIG difference between a genius and a very smart person. Even docs who win Nobel Prizes usually aren't geniuses. Smarts aren't enough. Good ideas are cheap. You need the perseverance to keep at it till you find the answer.
