"It was a good description to say that it was a game, a very interesting game
one could play. Whenever one solved one of the little problems, one could
write a paper about it. It was very easy in those days for any second-rate
physicist to do first-rate work. There has not been such a glorious time since
then. It is very difficult now for a first-rate physicist to do second-rate
work." P.A.M. Dirac.

The quote is about physics, but it certainly also applies to medicine. All the
low hanging fruits have been picked. The problem now is not the lack of
talent, funding, interest or dedication: it's the lack of fruits.

To continue the analogy: The amount of reachable fruit depends a lot on the
availability of tools. That’s why we didn’t have computer science in the
copper age. There have a lot of new tools been developed recently, eg deep
learning, and new areas of expertise have been unlocked with it. One just has
to figure out what kinds of fruit are reachable now.
