Document Summary
In the expressiveness of the body and the divergence of greek and chinese medicine. A woman has been violated by a bandit, and her husband lies in a grove, stabbed dead: in this case how do we know how the husband died; was it the bandit, the wife, was it suicide. Medicine is also a riddle; initially everyone thinks medicine is universal. It is when we look into the history of medicine we start to re-think the concept of medicine being universal. You usually hear that people have different viewpoints. For example in a baseball game, the person at first base has a different view of the game from the person on second game because of the physical angle at which they are standing. Or in a shooting; witnesses can disagree but not because they are being dishonest but because their perspective was different depending on where they were standing. One person can see what the other can"t see.
