It’s called the art of medicine: “An art that we learn to practice through intense medical school and residency trained education. It is an art that is nearly impossible to be emulated by extenders, nurses and other health care personal. That’s not meant to be insulting, demeaning condescending or arrogant. It’s just a fact. That’s what medical school and residency does to you. It is very difficult to explain unless you have experienced it.”

It would be nice if doctors did not forget that medicine IS an art and not just an evaluation of numbers and/or following guidelines. I hate this aspect of modern medicine!
