For anyone interested, I think this is book you're talking about

I think it was Ben Tilly and I think his user name is btilly. I also remember that comment you're referring too.

That's the one, thank you.

If by "listen" you mean by "blindly listen" (by the context of your comment it seems you mean blindly listen), this is absolutely horrible advice, and I wish people would stop repeating it. Even for most slightly non-trivial problems, physicians are often wrong in either diagnosis or treatment plans. In fact I've found physicians be some of the worst debuggers/problem solvers that I've ever encountered.

Here is book on the subject:

I haven't read the book, so I can't comment on the quality.

It seems like most doctors and your average physical therapist, lack the knowledge on what can be achived with a conservative approach. Just google what knee injury Connor McDavid (Arguably the best and most dynamic player in the NHL) had, and the sucessful non-surgical rehab protocal he went through. Most of his doctors were pressuring him to go the surgical route.

Also, a related book by the same authors:

I really like the way the handle their change log on github:https://github.com/algorithmsbooks/optimization

It's interesting just to go through their comments.

Interesting that here the typical textbook errata is called a "change log"...
