의사들이여, 분발하라!

"There's nothing more horrific than a doctor looking you in the eye and saying there's nothing wrong with you when you're in debilitating pain"

"Another reason it might be important to measure pain objectively in the brain is

because of this men, Philip Pizzo and his story.

He wrote an op-ed piece in the New England Journal of Medicine a few years ago where he described his long experience with pain first.

He's the former dean of Stanford Medical School and also the chairmen of this 

Institute of Medicine Report on Relieving Pain in America from 2011.

So virtually nobody knows more about pain than Philip Pizzo.

However, he had an experience where he was on the way somewhere traveling.

He got the bag off the conveyor belt. All of a sudden he feels pain in his body.

It doesn’t go away, and he ended up going through around from doctor to doctor

trying to figure out what was wrong. And eventually they did find something physical,

a nerve problem that they were able to fix.

But along the way people started wondering whether he was getting depressed, whether he was happy with his job, and whether it was really maybe all in his head.

So brain imaging can help us to understand what the basis is of this."

대부분의 의사들은 단지 의료 기술의 소비자일 뿐이다.

그들은 원리를 모르고, 따라서 응용을 할 줄도 모른다.

그리고 대부분 환자에게 협조적이지도 않다!

예를 들어 지난 번 의사가 EEG data만으로는 

두 조건의 차이점을 구분하기 힘들다고 했을 때,

나는 EEG data를 나에게 주면 내가 분석을 해보겠노라고 했다.

거절당했다.

알량한 그들의 권위의식이 환자의 안위보다 중요한가?

내가 볼 때 진료권은 모두에게 되돌아가야 한다고 생각한다.

일정 수준의 상식과 양식을 갖춘 사람에게는

당신이 의사 면허가 있든 없든 상관없다.

별다른 부작용없이 나의 불편함을 해소해 주는 자가 진정한 의사이다!
