Abstract

Editorial pain relief through acupuncture, magnetic therapy, and homeopathic remedies. It would be quite close- minded to assume that these courses of treatment are ‘‘Our facts will have the same eventual fate as the leaves worthless and completely without merit when there born by this tree.’’ Greek Scholar (name unknown), 341 are so many people who attest to their success. BC Perhaps the greatest problem for physicians is that Most of us can look back upon our university years they are presented with a series of facts that are with fondness for what could be characterized as biases, oftentimes born from financial interests. the idealized environment in which knowledge is Though our office maintains a good rapport with dispersed to young, fresh minds. Young graduates, company representatives and extends them full including recently graduated medical doctors, are courtesy, we realize that they have a job to do and usually filled with exuberance, enthusiasm, confi- therefore evaluate their studies and information with dence, and idealism. Nonetheless, the opinions and a very critical eye. Sales representatives rarely visit perceptions shaped during university study can be to discuss or provide samples of products that are misleading because practical, real-life experience fails inexpensive
