To reveal disease or to promote function - that is the question
AbstractMedicine faces challenges that indicate that it may not be sustainable. A descriptive disease concept is apt to what philosopher of science Ian Hacking called "looping effects", which can explain why health care is faced with insatiable demands. Diseases are not only indifferent ob...
