Explaining the explanation

Hatcher and Arroll explain that many people consult their doctors about symptoms for which their doctors are unable to provide an explanation.

As a result of their inability to provide an explanation, there cannot be any disease.

Hence people must be suffering from a fancy mental aberration that can presumably be accurately diagnosed, and elaborated until the cows come home. It is this alleged "disorder" rather than the actual disease yet to be researched and explained that must be treated "properly" - in order to save money !

The article reminded me of a comment by Paul Ewald in a recent interview:

"Human beings didn’t evolve to be scientists. Instead they evolved to be competitive – to grab and hold onto what is theirs. Hence the name calling often observed among the medical community and the resistance among scientists to fund or support ideas other then their own, ideas that question the validity of current dogma."
