Guest guest Posted September 24, 2002 Report Share Posted September 24, 2002 Will: Therefore, the habit of using texts as the final arbiter of what is true in a clinical setting can be misleading. Alon: I think this is the difference between academic and clinical medicine Jim: This is also the difference between history and progress. Will: Clearly clinical medicine should be informed by academic medicine and vice versa. Also, that progress is developed by paying attention to history - especially the kinds of documents that inform the practice of Chinese medicine. Here is an extreme example of the logical problem: if CAM is the only book we have and the pattern isn't listed there, then the disease pattern must not exist. I ain't buyin' no matter how voluminous the source or sources. Humanity is far to complex. Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
