The concepts of medicine and science on the menu are confounded or discussed in public as if the same thing were happening, but this is not the case. Greek antiquities, which are both inventory, and reason given that medicine was a “technique”, that is to say, a practice, and science “an epistemic”, are to say, a specific form of knowledge. Today, if you want to define the medicine as “scientific”, use the English abbreviation Ebm (“medicine based on evidence”) to determine that the medicine is based on different scientific disciplines (physics, chemistry, genetics, etc.), but it is not a note. Science is configured, of course, as a relationship between the subject (knowledge) and an external and Independent (knowledge), and seeks an objective certainty of reality. An ambitious goal, lamentably infallible in the infinite micro-world, but the fear of the observer is sufficient to influence it. For another person, medicine works through a relationship between people who interact with each other. It administers medicines, the medicine, in addition to the mind, activates the patient’s immunological system, which reacts to various forms and the patient is unpredictable. It explains some seemingly incomprehensible phenomena such as the placebo effect, in which the persons who have an inactive substance are cured (without their knowledge) as others who take the drug, and vice versa. It’s because we see that the people who have contact with Covid are nurses and others no; Some do not present symptoms and, lamentably, some mueren. Like all medicines, vacancies alone are effective in determining proportions, and not only in the case of all cases: completely natural only if we take into account the peculiarity of world life.
In conclusion, in the pursuit of science and medicine, in my opinion, we should avoid assuming oppressive positions and even days, for Newton does not cayo it, for example: by a lad, the scientism, according to what the ultimate value is within. . See our cause. On the other hand, relativism, which has no knowledge, is only an opinion. Medicine and science have their human formations, historical conditions, but progressively in constant progress. Unfortunately, their frequencies are not universally accepted, but they are the only way to keep them alive in a world where we have our affirmations and illusions, viruses and bacteria that have been shown to be more numerous and possibly more powerful. Because cambia and is constantly adapting to the entourage that the road. But this is another complete story, in which one must refer to another giant scientist like Charles Darwin.
