A Great Quote from a Great Doc

I found this quote tonight from a doctor I have a huge amount of respect for, Robert Mendelsohn. When Tristan was a baby, a friend recommended the book, "How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor". The book was written by Dr. Mendelsohn and has been used as a referral source a lot around our home. If you don't have a copy already, you should check it out. It's slightly outdated (it was written in 1983) but filled with TONS of great health information. And for those of you out there who LOVE your medical doctors, you'll be glad to know that he was one.

Here is the quote I found:

"Despite the tendency of doctors to call modern medicine an 'inexact science', it is more accurate to say there is practically no science in modern medicine at all. Almost everything doctors do is based on a conjecture, a guess, a clinical impression, a whim, a hope, a wish, an opinion or a belief. In short, everything they do is based on anything but solid scientific evidence. Thus, medicine is not a science at all, but a belief system. Beliefs are held by every religion, including the Religion of Modern Medicine." Robert Mendelsohn MD
