I'm not a doctor but a medical writer who has been obsessed with medicine since I was a kid. Hmm, let me throw out some stuff...
YouTube is a treasure trove. Hank Green's SciShow is an excellent place to start. He's the nerdy, passionate science teacher we all deserve to have.
ZDoggMd makes video parodies that are also suitable for kids. He rewords pop songs with a medical education message.
Medicalstudent.com is a collection of free medical textbooks. Still one of the best-curated lists and non-commercial.
Textbooks can't be beat for learning the fundamentals. Most texts aren't appropriate for children, but the "Made Ridiculously Simple" series is an exception. These books are for med students and it break key concepts down with cartoony illustrations. Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple is the best, IMO.
Netter's anatomy flashcards are awesome. They aren't cheap, but I bet your daughter would love them.
This should satisfy your daughter for a week or two. ;)
It really depends.
Primary care docs like myself don't use much actual true biology, physiology, chemistry, physics, organic chemistry, pharmacology on a day-to-day basis. Like most jobs, as you get more experienced, your knowledge also gets more focused on aspects you need to learn and use repeatedly and you forget most of the inane and trivial things that you may have learned.
Although I might have seen a case of Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever today, that I've never seen before. But I was thinking the last time I really thought about Rickettsial disease was while reading [this] (https://www.amazon.ca/Clinical-Microbiology-Made-Ridiculously-Simple/dp/1935660152) study guide in undergrad. I was actually picturing the drawing from that guide today about the RMSF guy with the mustache and spots all over.
I thought Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple was a good read. (http://www.amazon.com/Clinical-Microbiology-Made-Ridiculously-Simple/dp/1935660152/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418962425&sr=8-1&keywords=microbiology+made+ridiculously+simple)

This was uniformly loved by all of my classmates and myself. The author of a lot of the passages has a great sense of humor.
I’m not saying you don’t have a point... And, If you already feel like psychiatrists are dumbing things down and treating you like a baby, Stahl’s books aren’t going to help.
All I’m saying is that this style is a mnemonic device and books like this, that are intentionally simple/cartoonish and humorous are a meme in medical education. See: https://www.amazon.com/Clinical-Microbiology-Made-Ridiculously-Simple/dp/1935660152
"Clinical Microbiology Made Ridiculously Simple"
was very helpful through my MLS program, the ASCP generalist exam, and still as a reference at the bench. Here's an Amazon link:

Much appreciated!
I actually plan to study medicine myself, and I've seen the flashcard flow chart. From your post, I take it you recommend beginning with zanki, and thus relying on Pathoma and Sketchy?
It'll be a few years until I'll start studying, but I've been thinking about—as a primer—doing Incremental Reading on these first.
Dunno what you think about that?
THIS!
