Abstract For Philosophy Article
Rumors were going around hospitals in Greek that residents of surgery wanted to accumulate a large number during the time of scalpel by wrongly diagnosing unfortunate immigrants from Albania with appendicitis. This is a situation where the appendix becomes filled with pus leading to pain. This article reflects on the idea that much of research done and concluded by medical researchers in their studies is wrong, exaggerated, and misleading.
One of the doctors called John used his time to challenge his peers by exposing their wrongs on science (Freedman 2010). He says that wrongness problems can be solved when people stop considering scientists as being correct. He gave the reason as making mistakes in science is okay, but the scientist must correct it and report rather than concluding it to be a success and moving on to the next thing. He says that science is a precious way of trying to achieve something as well as the low yield of doing so.
Physicians and researchers often do not come into an agreement since they usually have different communications. Doctors should not rely on their sole decisions, which depend on solid evidence; rather, they should consider judgment and instinct in choice making. Choices should have evidence that is well informed. When the evidence is bad, patients and doctors should have the information on it.
In conclusion, this article shows that most of the data that is concluded by medical researchers on their studies is wrong, exaggerated, and misleading. Doctor John challenged his colleagues by exposing their wrongs on science and which he thought the problem could be solved when the people stop considering scientists to be correct. Doctors are also not supposed to rely on their sole decisions but on instinct and judgment.
