Assembly Line Medicine
My wife used to take "Mothering" magazine, which is a hotbed of second-guessers of modern medicine. I think all of this "anti-rationalism" is just part of the larger medical meltdown. We have a huge, modern, assembly line-style medical system which is brilliant sometimes and Kafkaesque at others. One of the casulties of factory medicine is tea and sympathy. And anything without a heart is bound to raise suspicion.
