❖ Email him for any questions
❖ In elborne college
❖ Have a read through assigned readings and he highlights things in the slides in
class, class notes are not posted beforehand or at all
❖ Take notes in class***
❖ Exams are MC
❖ Non cumulative
Read Chapters 1-2
• Define CAM/IH
• Define Fundamentals of medical science
• And comparison between two
The Human Body
• More than a machine
• Machine anatomy has its uses
• Limitations to Neptunium Mechanics, there are limitations, Newton’s Laws
Actin and rxn, still med uses those theories
Science
• Quantum mechanics
o J J Thomson – electron particle
o Electron is a wave
o It’s both
• Mendel and Darwin – genetics
• Science is a collaborative effort
• Science doesn’t happen in a vacuum
• Science - It moves slowly – a giant project
• Hard science – physics chem bio
• Soft science – psychology, anthro, ethics (very important)
o Still employ scientific method
o Just not able to peruse the same methods to follow our observations
• Hard and soft are both aimed at understating and explaining observed
phenomena
• What happens when you hit a roadblock
o Need to revise the model or theory to fit the observations
o If your empirical observations do not fit a particular model/theory ->
revision of model/theory may be necessary
Fundamentals of MedSci
• Objectivism
o Observer is separate from subject/observed
• Reductionism
o You are nothing more than the sum of your parts

Document Summary
Have a read through assigned readings and he highlights things in the slides in class, class notes are not posted beforehand or at all. Read chapters 1-2: define cam/ih, define fundamentals of medical science, and comparison between two. The human body: machine anatomy has its uses, more than a (cid:498)machine(cid:499, limitations to neptunium mechanics, there are limitations, newton"s laws. Actin and rxn, still med uses those theories. Science: electron is a wave, quantum mechanics, science is a collaborative effort. What"s in a name: what is ih/cam, everything not covered by the traditional western allopathic medical model, text definition is problematic: cam characterized, this immediately legitimized everything taught but critically think if all of them are actually correct. What is health: overall health including everything not only the absence of disease. It is a system here that separates everything but just now everyone is trying to work with everything together at once: prevention is much more important than treatment.
