Why do you think they haven't discovered better treatments? What is your ideal world for this disease?
- growingkittens 2y agoDoctors are not able to conceive of patients as a system, because they lack the training and tools to do so. This problem originates from science being systematic (step by step), not systemic (whole system). Both systemic and systematic approaches are required to understand reality [1]. So in an ideal world, we would have a science which looks from both the inside out perspective and the outside in. Right now - if a test doesn't measure it - it may as well not exist. That's an "inside-out" perspective. Once the science is fixed, the medical establishment is next: medicine has become too complex for any one doctor to understand. Doctors need to work as a team, each performing a different role. [1] "Systems Engineering: A systemic and systematic methodology for solving complex problems." Joseph Kasser, 2019. p. 17
