Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-19 00:00:00 Christopher Burke There are a lot of things to be learned from this book. It posed several interesting questions about being a doctor - does the traditional model still hold? Or should we embrace the new technological advances as they come along? Like everything, there are pros and cons to these choices. Also, I found it eye-opening to know that science is a rather new and modern addition to the art of medicine. Another interesting thing discussed is the absurdity of the clinical double blind study -- are we generating relevant knowledge? Can we reduce people to their commonalities? And if a treatment is shown to be beneficial, is it ethical to continue the study, hence putting the placebo group without treatment that we now know is good for them? Definitely brought up a lot of questions. Being a doctor is really not just smooth sailing. If I really make it to Med School, I'm gonna reread this book.
