Abstract

Take your friendly family physician, for example. A thorough scientific training has taught him the pitfalls of treating the symptoms while ignoring the cause. Wisdom accumulated during a lifetime of judicious experimentation has made him wary of hasty diagnoses, and premature treatments. Impatient patients will try to tempt him out of his cautious 'wait and see' attitude. With the inexorable strength of the man who knows he is right, he will administer the tests that will discover the germs that will dictate the treatment for the disease that Jack has. A simple relapse will set the same process in motion once again.
