What you don’t know can hurt you. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e     “Death panels” (rationing of care), hospitalists, inane limitations in cancer screening, and frivolousness in heavily funded medical research are detailed.     Issues as regards to use of over-the-counter herbs and supplements, alcohol, cigarettes, and marijuana are discussed. Means are suggested to approach such     fuzzy problems as hyperactivity, dizziness, psychiatric misdirection, retired tiredness, childhood insurrection, as well as irresistible or impossible     sleep. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e     Sinister forces and preposterous political proclamations are insidiously trying to dumb down our medical IQ. Elitist leaders are justifying this by touting     advances in software and sterile computerized medical decision making. Physicians are being made to fear the consequences of violations of “protocols of     care” (algorithmic sequence). \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e     Common sense, evidence-based medicine, experience, honest data analysis, tradition (custom), and receptive flexible logic need to be blended to make a more     perfect union of human and cyber capabilities. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e     Our medical monolith is becoming a foreboding juggernaut of evolution and revolution. Thomas Jefferson was poignant when he stated, “it is safer to have     the whole people respectably enlightened than a few in a high state of science and the many in ignorance.” \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Corporation","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47130832765168,"sku":"9781477120330","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781477120330_p0.jpg?v=1763611261","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781477120330","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
