"Reasoning is over-rated. In time, you will know an abnormal finding not because you reasoned your way to the answer, but because you have seen it before. When confronted by Grandma you dont stop and think, "Hmm, elderly woman, short, white hair, smells funny... AH! By this train of thought, this is Grandma!" No. You know Grandma because youve seen her before."
-Dr. Larry Hansen, Professor of Pathology, U.C. San Diego School of Medicine
