If you don't learn something as an undergrad, the worst that can happen is that you lose a few points on a test. If you miss something in med-school, someone might end up in the morgue. Thankfully, you have a lot more reason to learn in med-school- everything matters, which I imagine makes all of those facts less impossible to learn. Your attitude about competing with yourself is especially true- if you always think of medicine as a competition, you would probably have less reason to keep learning after residency. Great post.
