Pre-internet, how could you learn to be a doctor in a small town you can't leave?

I not have a very strong urge to see it again.
I think he underestimates the time in the article, though. Or, rather, he seems to assume that he would spend the time to learn some things perfectly while only learning enough to fool her in others. I am mainly thinking of the fixing the back thing. I felt it made more sense for him to have properly learnt how to be a doctor. And the point that someone made about Heidi 2 in the comments section was very good: no way do you see that again unless a number years have passed since the last time.

Also there are some mistaken issues brought up - for example, the author counting extra days from leap years. How many times does February 29 occur during an endlessly recurring February 2? Also the mention of needing to rest from the piano to avoid carpal tunnel syndrome - As far as I knew that is a culumlative condition that you would not get over the course of a day, and even if you could - it would not last when you restart in the morning. Though that does lead to another point - a lot of these skills should involve a certain degree of muscle memory and/or conditioning to do. If if he absolutely knows which keys to press, shouldn't his hands be all clumsy and so forth since he is making his fingers move in that manner for the first time in his life, as far as his nerve endings and muscles and tendons are concerned?

Well, he does have a pile of books at one point, so it looks like they have a well stocked library
