“The practice of medicine has evolved significantly over time, from a more holistic to a reductionist or mechanistic approach. This book briefly traces the history of medicine and the transition to quantitative medicine, which has enabled more personalised and
targeted treatments and improved understanding of the underlying biological mechanisms of disease. However, this shift has also presented some challenges and criticisms, including a dehumanised concept of disease. In our current culture, we have lost contact with human suffering and treat disease as some formulaic inevitability. We are not machines, nor are we AI. Medicine must be personal” – Dr. Daniel Weber.
