This makes good sense.
A good read is "The End of Illness:
by David Agus. A must read!

You took a very good talk and blew it with your comment about doctors not understanding lab values. You came across like a righteous policy wonk. News flash: you don't have all the answers bud. A color coded lab values page isn't new. I get one at my annual physical every year.

superb. people are capable, they can be trusted to understand their data. just design it so they can read it.

One word- Ayurveda. This talk becomes redundant.

This is painfully basic.

Understanding partially is worse than not understanding at all. Because in the first case, there are actions.In the drug facts it may write, this drug prevents blood clothing. But there are hundred different mechanisms for that that only medical education can give you the total understanding.

I think they present data in a boring way so that you don't read it, negative side effects and that - there are too many hypercondriacs in this world. Personally I research every drug I take, prescribed or otherwise, for two reasons: 1. It's interesting to me. 2. I want to know what to watch for if I have a bad reaction and what action to take.
Oh, a talk that isn't an absolute waste of time. Joy.

Totally agree with this guy. And it's valid not only for medicine, but for many others as well. It doesn't take that much time to make it understandable.
