<b>Introduction to Allopathy: The unique philosophy of
non-alternative medicine<br>
</b>Louis Kuchnir, MD, PhD and MIT '87 alum<br>
Tue Jan 17, 05-06:00pm, 4-163<b><br>
<br>
</b>Allopathic medicine is taught by the medical schools that award
M.D. degrees. At its base, is the philosophy that medical
therapy should be based on science. In this moderated
discussion, we'll explore both the strengths and quirks of
conventional medicine based on its foundation in the scientific method
including peer review, controlled experimentation,
and underpinnings in human biology. We'll also discuss how
allopathic philosophy creates an antipathy toward euthanasia,
prescribing placebo, integrating alternative therapies, etc.
Finally, we'll consider the development of the standardized
undergraduate, pre-medical core curriculum and extra-curriculars
as prerequisites for studying medicine in an allopathic
school.<br>

<b>Joy of Clinical Medicine</b><br>
Louis Kuchnir, MD, PhD and MIT '87 alum<br>
Tue Jan 17, 06-07:00pm, 4-163<br>
<br>
Back when doctors were among the wealthiest Americans, they could have
retired early, but instead they tended to work until their own health
failed. Lately, clinical medicine is cast as an unrewarding
profession. Observers point to how "jackpot justice" is
causing a malpractice crisis while cost-savings programs developed by
managed care bureaucracies are blamed for destabilizing the
doctor-patient relationship.<br>
<br>
Dr. Louis Kuchnir will inspire those of you interested in becoming
clinicians by explaining how the rewards of medical practice are so
enormous that they outweigh the indignities that dominate the
headlines.<br>
