“Medicine, at its peak objectiveness, becomes science by the careful unraveling and rewinding of context. The gold standard clinical trial is an example of these measures—the blinding and placebo-ing and dice-rolling are all attempts to remove bias from the date, to unearth empirical fact from the messy, context-rich, narrative-laden, chaotic wildness of human bodies.” pg 226
I LOVED this book. It articulated so many things I have been trying to put into words myself about my own experiences and observations and I saw so many of my own experiences reflected in the lives of others who shared their stories. Highly, highly recommend.
