Perhaps the most useful question a doctor can ask a patient
http://www.drbriffa.com/2012/07/02/p...ask-a-patient/ "I was interested to read the column of Dr Des Spence (a British general practitioner/family physician) in this week’s British Medical Journal [1]. He has chosen this week to lament the fact that modern medical practice has become more 'tyrannical, hierarchical, controlled, intolerant, and dogmatic.' There is pressure on doctors to ‘follow the evidence’ even though the evidence may be deeply flawed and biased due to considerable conflicts of interest. Another concern is the fact that doctors are remunerated for doing certain things, which can make it difficult for them to take a truly objective stance of some of what they do." Submitted without comment because...well, because I can. -- Dogman "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything" - Richard Feynman |
