Med student here. The majority of us do research starting from day one of undergrad. It's not uncommon to graduate med school with 5+ publications. It is effective at showing how little we know, but so are the lectures we have everyday that have unknowns in them.
We're also taught by "genuine" scientist, people with PhDs, PhD/MD, and MDs on a daily basis about what we don't know.

I really appreciate this being taught, and from what little you wrote, I appreciate the humility shown. Please don't ever become a "big shot" that's too good to talk openly to people who are afraid about their health.
