"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
Historians have reviewed multiple sets of notes from the same Middle Ages sermon and found that different people created different written records, said Harvard historian Ann Blair. Notes on early inquisitions similarly appear to be skewed by the inquisitor's impressions, she said.
Bet that would be true of a patient encounter as well. If you placed a bunch of doctors in one of those old-style amphitheaters and had them record a patient history as another doctor gathered it, they'd all have very different patient notes in the end. posted by Sydney on
