ABSTRACT
There has been considerable discussion about the paradigm shift from medicine to experimental science. In the first 150 years (1850–2000) of modern medicine it was practiced as an art. It showcased the two-way consultation between the patient and the physician. Now, physicians work closely with laboratory scientists to take advantage of new technology. Many doctor–patient relationships have evaporated into health management systems and laboratory diagnostics, but personal information has not. It is more accessible than ever before, due to electronically transferred statistical banks, supposedly blind, but probably not. Reproductive medicine converged with science in its use of oversimplified biochemical solutions, experimental trials, and statistics. 1
