Abstract:
Dealing with unproven treatments involves more than analyzing the available scientific data. The patient-physician relationship--the foundation of medical practice--is challenged and threatened by unproven treatments. To understand the problem, we need to understand ourselves as well as the patient and the disease. Handling the problem effectively can strengthen the patient-physician bond.
