I have come to the conclusion that there are two basic types of practicing physicians. There are also those who only do research, but of doctors who interact with the public, there are treaters and there are healers. Treaters see patients. Healers treat people.
Treaters view a set of symtoms, reach into a figurative box, and pull out a diagnosis which seems to be indicated by said symtoms, then give the patient presciptions and prosciptions. If these solve the problem, the treater has done his job. If they do not, the treater has done his job, and it may be the patients fault that they didn't work, probably due to ommission or commission; or the problem is an anomaly which cannot be diagnosed or corrected.
Healers take the same initial steps, but they have a scientific curiosity, and often a sympathy, that kicks in while the problem remains unsolved. But if standard protocol doesn't produce the desired results, they explore other avenues, and don't give up easily.
I prefer healers, don't you?

Yes, I prefer healers everytime. I'm thinking that oftentimes a healer had the basic personality of to prior to med school.
