It then shifts to medicine, emphasizing that it is also a science in progress, with a focus on populations and outliers. The speaker, a surgeon, uses sarcoma as a case study to illustrate how rare diseases can lead to significant scientific discoveries. The importance of humility and curiosity in medicine is highlighted, along with the need for open communication between doctors and patients.
