Chaos based medicine

  • Chris Ellis S A Family Practice

Abstract

You have heard of Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) in which you make remarkable diagnoses and decisions based on real evidence and random controlled trials. Now I want to introduce you to Chaos Based Medicine (CBM) on which I run my practice. It starts in the morning by my trying to get through the chaos of the traffic on Boshoff street and find parking near the clinic. Whatever happened to my parking space? While I was on the golf course the world seems to have run out of parking space. They are still producing thousands of cars coming off the production lines every minute but no one has told them that there is nowhere to park them any longer.
