>Introduction to Allopathy:  The unique philosophy of non-alternative medicine
>Louis Kuchnir, MD, PhD and MIT '87 alum
>Tue Jan 17, 05-06:00pm, 4-163
>
>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.
>
>Joy of Clinical Medicine
>Louis Kuchnir, MD, PhD and MIT '87 alum
>Tue Jan 17, 06-07:00pm, 4-163
>
>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.
>
>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.
