Medicine is a vast ocean,
After being in medicine for 35 years today I came across a book about a very little known phenomenon. I did not even know that a specific term was coined to describe these little known curious phenomenon of the human body.
The trigemino cardiac reflex
"Although clinical case reports are usually underestimated by mainstream scientific journals, they represent an important, and sometimes even exclusive, way of communicating new and unusual clinical findings. Moreover, they may represent the main source of new knowledge about rare clinical features in medicine, especially surgery. Generalizing and hypothesizing from a few case reports always presents a substantial problem. However, in the development of our current understanding of the TCR, initial single-case reports led to multiple cases, systematic reviews, and experimental cases in craniomaxillofacial surgery, facial plastic surgery ophthalmology, and neurosurgery.43–78 The findings obtained from these different sources, irrespective of both their small sample size and the particular surgical subdisciplines they represented, shed light on new investigations. As a result, researchers all over the world began to be interested in the TCR and, indeed, the topic became popular among medical scientists. But it was Schaller again who alone understood, as he did in the early years of his TCR research, that the phenomenon could be further explicated only by case reports or small series of cases."
