Neuro-immunology or diagnostic radiology

Reference no: EM1368200

Could you help with the following:

In the article "Reclaiming the Big Picture" from Dunworth, C. (2005). What is medicine?... If you ask someone whether they understand what medicine is, then they will usually either give you a dismissive nod, or will perhaps reply 'of course'. When you then ask them to follow up and explain in simple terms there is often an embarrassed silence. The author first became interested in the whole field of medicine in the mid-nineties. He scoured bookshops and libraries far and wide, and trawled extensively through numerous websites. But to little avail. There were plenty of books detailing the finer points of Neuro-Immunology or Diagnostic Radiology, for example, but precious few looking at the big picture..The standard official line that is marketed is that the only serious and scientific form of medicine that is available is what I term 'Modern Western Medicine'. And that we've never had it so good. Furthermore that all other forms of medicine are at best alternative or complementary, or at worst quackery and unscientific. Fortunately we are now beginning to break out of these medical Dark Ages, and this mental prison.

Do you agree or disagree, what are your thoughts?
