Collecting Pieces

I described the new process of medical science (bringing medical science from the classical structure to a modern structure) as being like a puzzle, only in this puzzles the pieces have to be found. A friend asked me, "How do you known when you've found a piece"? The problem is that there is no simple answer, but it can be illustrated via my work in Cardiology.

The first step is to ask what has been done in Cardiology. This simple general survey was done via a search of the internet to find out who was out there and what they were doing. This yielded a wealth of information on the pharmaceutical advances in medicine for cardiology. This information was contradicted by articles in the journal Science, such as in the January 7 2005 (Vol. # 307) Page 19, Fighting Arrhythmias . An article that described the positively project drugs do little or nothing to reduce the risk of arrhythmias in cardiac patients. A piece that demonstrates that not only more work needs to be done, but areas of viable research are going undone. In short, there are holes in the current picture of medical science.
