It's true. In my generation, we spent a great deal on the doctor-personal relationship. We learned absolutely nothing about public communication. After all, mostly we are nerds who spent the better part of our 20s in libraries!
Translating what is in our brains and how we interpret the data is hard. And sometimes a guess. Most humans don't fit in narrow boxes so many times we are extrapolating from multiple studies or a talk at a conference we just went to or maybe a really smart old doctor.
It's the sum total of the art of medicine and the science of medicine. Ultimately, I think its about trust. And that 1:1 relationship.
Absolutely. I had more “long term sobriety” folks bc we kept an open door, were minimalistic with meds, and treated the chronicity of addiction as any other waxing and waning chronic illness. I’d say for me to remember every patient is N=1 and as u point out - trust - was 80% of acute recovery management! Your readings have been instrumental for my daughter who is dealing with melanoma so as always, I appreciate you so much.
Can you imagine if all scientists were more truthful about the accuracy of the data?
Thanks, Jim.
