An important lesson
It took me decades to learn this simple lesson as a physician. Modern medicine tends to train the physicians to treat the diseases, not to heal the humans. There is a huge difference.
That is why they call him father of medicine I have been trained at the time when each blood test was done at a time and cost of tests was prohibitive On top of that our teachers would ask us to diagnose before teats or X rays were done and history was all that was available so we had to catch the depth of history/family history background place of origin etc (Know the person)
This important lesson is easily forgotten in the era of ... Always watch " your back " and we always have to cover our A$$es so we don't get in "trouble " and can safely stay away from the ambulance chasers :)
Uncle:: Agree:: Though laboratory/radiological based medicine may make medicine more precise it may take away the soul of healing. Nowadays I see physicians not even touching the patients, rather treating the "EMR" (electronic medical record).
Aly ::: I really like House! Used to be my fav show when I had the luxury of time. (Where have you been, young man!)
B n stilettos: Isn't it sad, the way we practice? Since day one of my residency, I heard all these words !!!
