In Reply to: The Objectivist Doctor & His Subjectivist Patient posted by thetubeguy1954 on February 15, 2007 at 08:40:17:
But lets stick with your physician scenario. The link below shows why the Doctor should insist on (objectivist) tests when treating a subjectivist patient, rather than rely solely on their self diagnostic statements of well being/hearing.
Any good doctor (objectivist) would know that subjectvist patients can lie or be delusional (or both at the same time), their bizarre statements/fantasies can only be taken so seriously.cheers,
