| I don't get it. Like how are you a knee doctor if you're not aware of what knees do or how they should work in the overall system. On a system as incredibly simple as, say, an old carbureted motorcycle you don't just look at the spark plugs if there is poor ignition. You look at the carb, air filter, rings, valves, top dead center sensor, timing chains, the cdi/tdi, the coils, and the battery (although probably not in that order). If the problem is the battery no sensible home mechanic (and no ethical professional mechanic) stops there, you check the voltage regulator and the stator or you're going to find yourself replacing a lot of $100 batteries for want of a $30 IC or a piece of $2 copper wire with a break in the insulation. The exact same process applies in debugging or designing a physics experiment or making a pcb or repairing a house or therapy, or...just life. Like, you're never going to keep your room clean if your wardrobe is too small to hold all your clothes.... I can't even begin to comprehend a mindset which claims to be part of STEM (or even as professional as a tradesman) in which this concept is foreign or novel. |
A whole systems health model would involve essentially a debugging process for injuries and maladies in order to find root causes and treat them. It would require a totally different (transdisciplinary) approach to health though, and institutions don't really change.
