That's scary though because we've called a lot of people liars and have distrusted them. Our most important teachers are our patients. Drugs do not have a moral value. We, as physicians, should not be moralizing about pain or it's treatments. If it has, we have to work to restore their lives.
Biochemistry is the truth to doctors.
If it has a biochemical explanation, it must be true. Yet, we know that it's just a model and it will change. What we learned in medical school is outdated in five years. What's true is what our patients tell us. There is hope, strength and healing for everyone.
