Words have been written before about this fractionating of medical practice. There seems to be however, an appalling apathy concerning this in a great part of the medical community. We, as the people, are responsible for these changes. It is because we have not stood up for the truth as it affects these issues that these events have come about. Events in government and events in medicine and elsewhere are changed only as people are changed for the better.
Traditional medicine embodies the counsel and caring relationship so desperately needed today.
The institution of medicine itself is foundational to our culture and to our nation. What is happening is being regarded as the new norm. Medicine has strayed from its original design and has lost its vision of the Designer. The complete physician practices traditional medicine, which embodies honesty, truthfulness, dependability, integrity and resourcefulness. All of these qualities are included in our Oath of Hippocrates.
