Half of what you learn is wrong. We can'tsay which. The oracles of medicineare fond of saying this, when blathering onabout progress. Like learning Latinin high school, it's not the principle of usethat counts, but the idol of discipline.Study today, delete tomorrow. In a decade,truth will bifurcate along an unknown lineinto wheat to be retained; chaff, discarded.There is something fishy about the ruleof glib transition from right to wrongin the annals of progress—the humanis missing. The pain is missing. The actionis happening today. The podiumis nowhere to be seen in a patient's room.By Jack CoulehanReported by Author [Extracted from the article] |
