I made a joke (I thought) about "integrated medicine" to my former doc saying his clinic was actually modeled after Descarte's Demon. "You see demons?" and suggested an anti-psychotic. 😂 His own mind/body split is wholly Cartesian. Segregation, not integration. Do MDs not read?

There are many motivations to study medicine… (now some prejudices): • Medicine requires the capability to learn by heart, not really intelligence • A dissertation in medicine is about as demanding as a semester project in STEM (where you are lucky if you do it in 5 years)

Replying to @pdfguru
There's little to no science in applied clinical practice for most MDs. The science is in pharmacology, surgery, research medicine and clinical specialists like oncolgists, pathologists, hematologists and the like who often gain Ph.Ds in research. My PCPs couldn't read a CBC FFS!
