Logic. While us? we carry around a 'hi-tech hand gadget' with built in calendar, phone book and even Google and yet we still remind ourselves not to forget to carry the damn thing around and look up the information inside :) and sooner or later, man will come up with the one that attached to our head. What are we? LAZY :) So better use your brain to memorize certain things as you will most likely to carry it all the time and that is why rote learning could be important and totally useful.

It'd be sad to lose a patient because the doctor had to take a few minutes to Google how to save his life... LoL...Just a thought... =) Well, maybe because with some things, we just don’t have two minutes… like in medicine… It’d be sad to lose a patient because the doctor had to take a few minutes to Google how to save his life… LoL…Just a thought… =)
