Abstract
We shall again face the questions posed in the Introduction and, try to find some answers. Do patients benefit from their doctor’s advice? Do physicians know what they are doing? How do we know what the best advice is? Are the methods that doctors use in medical practice the most appropriate, valid, reliable, and efficient ones? Do physicians’ methods reach the standards of present-day conceptions of science? Is medicine an art or a science?
The field of genuine success: correct prediction from theory.
