Okay, I won't stop you. Go ahead and bring up examples from Hippocrates's time then. Human nature hasn't changed much on these timescales so you will be making a very strong point about modern medicine with such examples.
- mark-r 6y agoI haven't brought up examples that old, and neither has anyone else in this thread. Typical straw man. I just pointed out that you were being unnecessarily restrictive and that this would hinder the effort to get the examples you seek.
- afiori 6y agoIn many ways modern medicine changed a lot in the last half century. Similarly to how modern culture changed a lot. In particular the way in which we believe we have discovered everything there is to know is constantly evolving. Not all hyperbole are straw men, the original question was about how the current distinction between medicine and non-medicine works. Historical examples are relevant, but not what intended in the question.
