It’s Not About The Biceps
Authors
Abstract:
In the biomedical paradigm all symptoms and limitations are ascribed to discrete pathophysiology. However, abiopsychosocial health model that accounts for the important influence of mind-set and circumstances on illness maybe preferable in the vast majority of cases. Some of the shortcomings of the biomedical model include an overrelianceon tests and treatments. One major issue of the biomedical model is the raging epidemic of opioid misuse and opioidrelated overdose deaths as previously reported in North America.Emblematic of these issues is a 56-year-old male that had surgery for a rupture of the distal biceps in our clinic withpsychosocial aspects of the illness that were underappreciated by the care team and had disastrous opioidcentricattempts at pain control leading to threats to hospital staff, and finally resulting in forcible removal by hospital securityfrom the ward and national police from the hospital. One might argue that there is no higher priority than rejecting thebiomedical model, understanding illness is its full complexity, and learning from the world’s mistakes so that we don’trepeat them.Level of evidence: V

full textComputer Science: Not about Computers, Not Science
This paper makes two claims about the fundamental nature of computer science. In particular, I claim that—despite its name—the field of computer science is neither the study of computers, nor is it science in the ordinary sense of the word. While there are technical exceptions to both claims, the nature, purpose, and ultimately the crucial contributions of the beautiful discipline of computer s...
