I&#x27;m excited about lots of research that is breaking down the &#x27;separate mind &amp; body&#x27; delusion that seems to have gripped medicine for the last couple of hundred years. Doctors could perhaps do more to embrace the scientific method, an inability to measure something is not proof it does not exist.<p>There also seems to be institutional resentment of any patient that does not respond to a prescribed treatment, as if it was a personal failure to respond in the way they imagined.  I have direct experience of the treatment of patients, as empressplay puts it, there are no clean hands.<p>One particularly shocking consultant came up with a treatment plan, when I enquired whether we would see them again to evaluate the outcome he was quite specific that it was not of interest, as the &#x27;expert&#x27; there was nothing more to learn. I patronised the chap by outlining in a step by step manner how in my industry we integrate a program of continuous review in order to determine the effectiveness of the solutions we implement, but no, his belief was so strongly held, the actual experience of the patient was of no interest.
