Too Much Or Too Little
What is the Practice of Medicine?
Medicine boils down to this: too much, or too little. It’s that easy. The way it happens is you have a symptom, and make an appointment to see your MD. After a prolongued wait, you go to their office and tell them your problem. Within eighteen seconds (on average) your doctor will interrupt you. That is because by that time, he or she has already decided what condition you have and what drug you should be given (information from the book “How Doctors Think” by Jerome Groopman, MD).
