What does what person mean

Reference no: EM133689677

Advocates of precision medicine like to quote Hippocrates*: "It is far more important to know what person the disease has than what disease the person has." Assuming that both aspects-- the person and the disease-- are at least somewhat important, reflect on the following questions, supporting your answers with concrete examples:

What does "what person" mean? Does this refer to their genetics, environment, demographics, both, neither, something else? (Remember to offer examples.)
When is knowing "what person" is more important than knowing "what disease," and when is the reverse true? Again, offer specific examples.
