Dr Wayne Phimister (03:34):
And it's funny because when I think about medical school or becoming a doctor, that was never part of my mindset. It was always just to help people. I want to help people, but I want to deal with the challenge. So if we move forward over 30 years now, and that's exactly what I am, is I'm still wanting to help people.
Dr Wayne Phimister (03:57):
And it's a huge challenge. And what I've realized is there's a difference between medicine and healing, which is kind of strange because the origins of medicine was all about healing. Correct. But now we're finding, as you know, the dominant theme of medicine is assessment, symptoms, symptoms, signs, diagnoses, investigations and treatments. And you know, the majority is medications or surgeries. And that's what we're trained in.
Dr Wayne Phimister (12:51):
Well, it's, I think in all honesty functioning as a family doctor because of the time constraints and you're there to collect symptoms and you know, all the symptoms or as many symptoms as you can and our job is to go and find those symptoms. But I think in reality it's more what is the patient saying And then you get onto that mindset of reductionist model of, you know, trying to figure out what they're talking about or what the problem is and you confirm it with the diagnosis. So confirm it with the examination focal examination. Right. And then go down the path of investigations and diagnosis. But we're talking about medicine here. We're talking about traditional medicine where it's a symptom based world and well,
Dr Wayne Phimister (31:07):
We do MRI scans and there's one doctor says, look, you cannot get an MRI scan standing in Canada and we think about it when you stand you get your whole axial skeleton with gravity pulling and it's a very different thing to lying down in a bed with gravity spread out.
Dr Wayne Phimister (31:57):
So this dynamic body that we have that always moves and never stay still really, you know, it's a different picture that you're seeing on a different position. Now I had to, well there is one MRI scan in Kamloops, in BC here and up in Dr Brown's office who is a neurosurgeon and he does MRI scans sitting down.
