When physicians in training enter their clinical years and first
begin to become involved in clinical decision making, they soon
find that more than the technical data they had so carefully
learned is involved. Prior to that time, of course, they were aware
that more than technology was involved in practicing medicine, but
here, for the first time, the reality is forcefully brought home.
It may be on the medical ward, when a patient or a patient's
relatives ask that no further treatment be given and that the
patient be allowed to die; it may be in ob/gyn, when a 4- or
5-month pregnant lady with two other children and just deserted by
her husband pleads for an abortion; it may be in the outpatient
setting, where patients unable to afford enough to eat cannot
afford to buy antibiotics for their sick child or provide him or
her with the recom mended diet. Whatever the setting, students soon
find themselv. es con fronted with problems in which an answer is
not given by the technical possibilities alone; indeed, students
may have to face situations in which, all things considered, the
use of these technical possibilities seems ill-advised. But choices
need to be made. Some of us may choose to hide behind a mastery of
technology."
