At the same time, research-derived facts about the average patient must not outweigh individual patients’ observations of their own bodies and illnesses. New processes for capturing and accommodating patients’ personal experiences – which are typically idiosyncratic, subjective, and impossible to standardize – would go a long way toward ensuring that each patient receives the right treatment.
与此同时，研究获得的关于普通患者的事实不能压倒个体患者对自己的身体和病症的观察。捕捉和协调患者个人经验的新程序——通常具有异质性和主观性，难以标准化——还需要走很长的路才能确保每个患者都获得正确的治疗。
