  • Toward Scientific Medicine

    by O.S. Miettinen ...
    Series series Medicine (R0)
    Scientific medicine in Miettinen’s conception of it is very different from the two ideas about it that come to eminence in the 20th century. To him, medicine is scientific to the extent that it has a rational theoretical framework and a knowledge-base from medical science. He delineates the nature of that theoretical framework and of the research to develop the requisite knowledge for application ... Read more
