Medicine's science is still bound to a mechanistic, 17th century world-view. To give it up would force the physician to give up to manipulate the patient and to feel omnipotent toward him. Emotional reasons block him from doing so. Treatment mistakes are the consequence. The neglect of feelings evoked by the patient in the physician helps him to avoid to be exposed to own feelings, i.e. anxiety, hopelessness, anger. Again treatment mistakes follow. Sticking to theory and practice of alternative medical methods without having proved their efficiency prevents the physician to give up the cherished autistic undisciplined, magical thinking. Treatment mistakes ensue.
