Balancing Open-Mindedness and Sound-Mindedness: A Physician's Perspective
1Neurology, Westchester Medical Center, New York Medical College, Valhalla, USA.
Abstract:
Open-mindedness in the medical decision-making process is fundamental as it aids in averting mistakes, yet it can also breed ambiguity if it's too excessive. On the other hand, sound-mindedness, which is a balanced method that employs logic and evidence in problem-solving, could be the preferred approach. Both these traits have their limitations, yet they can supplement each other in various clinical contexts. Therefore, it's crucial for medical professionals to wisely cultivate and uphold both these traits.
