Ahh the good ol "medicine is Art and science" keeping the physician cartel alive and well, with no competitive risk from scientists and AI.
I know my son was at risk of worse outcomes if not for me researching the relevant scientific papers online. (Tongue Tie, surgery vs laser, physician recommended surgery because it's done by a surgeon not a dentist. Outcomes are worse with surgery)
It's about time we move to evidence based medicine and revoke licenses from traditionalists.
- Barrin92 5y agois the entire point of your account to advocate for deregulating medicine or why are you barking up the wrong tree here? I didn't argue for or against licenses. In any field with tacit knowledge expertise will persist regardless. Even in a world with zero licenses people will probably not have their kids operated on by someone who studied surgery on YouTube. Both the dentist as well as the physician in your example are trained professionals. As are the scientists whose studies you trusted when you came to the conclusion that someone gave you bad advice. Institutionalized and tacit knowledge in science is just as present as it is in medicine. Licenses are just a way to make that knowledge acquisition explicit and verifiable.
- deregulateMed 5y agoNo, I somewhat value privacy and use burner accounts. I was probably upset I had to pay 5 different people to get my yearly dandruff medicine. Also, I absolutely do not trust scientists (read- Humans). I trust the scientific method and finding multiple independent studies with reasonable methods and similar conclusions. I simply took issue with you claiming there is an Art to medicine in 2021.
