Track 17 of Medical Disk 1 begins with the distinct, unmistakable sound of a newspaper being crumpled. This noise, sharp and clear, fills the air, creating an atmosphere of anticipation. It's followed by a period of silence, leaving the listener in a state of expectant suspense. This initial crumpling is not rushed but deliberate, indicating a sense of purpose. As the track progresses, the crumpling noise becomes a consistent background, almost like a heartbeat, providing a rhythmic cadence to the unfolding audio narrative. It seems to symbolize the ongoing consumption and disposal of information in the fast-paced medical field, where new findings and advancements render older knowledge obsolete. This sporadic crumpling noise is interspersed with periods of quiet, providing a stark contrast. It's almost as if the listener is being given moments to absorb the implications of the crumpled newspaper - the constant cycle of learning, unlearning and relearning in the medical profession.
