'Precision' vs. Conventional Medicine

What a joke.
Precision medicine vs conventional. A completely false division.

Jesus I pray for the day where the academically mundane all go for their broom-in-the-ass ectomies and stop subjecting us all to this sort of dribble.

The next major paradym in medicine will be learning to manipulate genetic machinery to cure disease and repair cells, tissues, organs. We are not there yet. Until we get there we are all just still groping in the dark. Even as we refine therapy and increase understanding, at its essence, we do little more than our ancestors did 100,000 years ago - gather herbal medicines, concentrate them, and support the body until IT cures itself.

Until that day comes when we can direct genetic machinery to cure we are all still just bozos on this bus - despite the starched white coats, self-important pedigrees, titles, and egos. Get over it and get to work - real work.

Not much has changed.
