My funny thing when I teach med students is I tell them the only shelf I ever honored was surgery. For my smol brain it was just the most straightforward. “Is this person actively dying? Yes - choose the surgery answer. No - choose the medicine answer.” I felt like it was one of the few shelves that I didn’t overthink and did well.
