On: How to unlearn a disease

[solumos]

The idea that medicine is an objective science that we've fully "solved" is much more harmful.

There are a number of symptoms that we can group into "conditions," yet have a murky etiology.

That's not to say there isn't snake oil out there. There's certainly a ton of that as well. But medical problems aren't always a simple "solve for x" - there is a TON that we still don't know about how the human body works.

I would love a science based alternative to our current Authority based healthcare system. Cheaper, potentially better outcomes, less errors.

That said, the physician cartel would never let it happen.
