| Since the dawn of western medicine (5th century B.C.), the care of patients has been divided into care for the body and care for the mind. Though concerned about the whole person, Hippocrates’ ability to excel in the treatment of the more mechanical afflictions of humanity (e.g., fractures) forever established an occupational niche for medicine. Training in medicine always has been structurally based, and from the time of Hippocrates, medical school begins with anatomy. As a result, physicians tend to self-select; they are trained to think spatially and structurally. Organization of data tends to be hierarchical, and events are thought of more in terms of cause and effect. |
