...wird sicher aus den Lautsprechern gelaufen sein

 

...kurz mal schauen, ob Hope's Boxen wieder rund laufen und was sie noch so hergeben:


 

Klingt unglaublich französisch, ist aber russisch, was einmal mehr die in Teilen bemerkenswerte kulturelle Nähe offenbart.



..dann mach ich mal einfach weiter

The phrase “neurology of identity” has become popular because of Dr. Sacks’ writings. He used to lament that neurology and psychiatry had become more scientific rather than being subjects of identity. He was worried that individual studies or studies of individuals would get lost in statistics and get lost by getting averaged out. For example, according to Dr. Sacks, the story of Phineas Gage was not so much about frontal lobe function but more of a story of altered moral identity. Patients in stories by Dr. Sacks showed a sort of suspension of their consciousness of identities (as in Awakenings).

Dr. Sacks strongly believed that even in the current era of “evidence-based medicine,” the “anecdotal” account should and would be held in place. Even case histories are evidence — even a single case, which has been studied for many years. There are different sorts of evidence. Similar to any other physician, Dr. Sacks also used the phrase “I am delighted by the complexities of case histories,” by which he referred to the richness and thickness of reality. He thought that our existing case histories were too thin. According to him, a description of a Parkinson's patient getting up and moving across a room would need 30 pages or 40 pages of dense writing. It is in this way that a novelist and clinician come together.

Oliver Sacks was an atheist. But unlike Richard Dawkins, he saw an emotional need for creating and believing in a God. However, he himself did not feel that need. For him, the question of God was a matter of faith, which was beyond evidence. He neither believed in faith nor did he make a public attack on religion. The word “God” is sparingly used in Dr. Sacks’ writing and that too in a deistic manner and as a manner of speech, for a sort of Eienstienian god. He had said, “I think it basically is a matter of trying to lead a decent life in here and now. There is nothing or anything beyond. I think I have a sort of religious sensibility but I more so have a sense of wonder, gratitude and awe at the universe. My religion will be without anything supernatural in it; a Godless religion.”

..EBM is a vital and positive influence on the practice of medicine, but it has its limitations. Most relevant to this blog is the focus on evidence to the exclusion of scientific plausibility. The focus on evidence has its utility, but fails to properly deal with medical modalities that lie outside the scientific paradigm, or for which the scientific plausibility ranges from very little to nonexistent...

...EBM, although a step forward over prior dogma-based medical models, ultimately falls short of making medicine as effective as it can be. As currently practiced, EBM appears to worship clinical trial evidence above all else and nearly completely ignores basic science considerations, relegating them to the lowest form of evidence, lower than even small case series. This blind spot has directly contributed to the infiltration of quackery into academic medicine and so-called EBM …
