Article Plan

Personally I think this article is in need of a plan and total rewrite.

Level? Purpose?

I think one approach would be to dwell on the philosophy and history of medicine, and touch on illustrated examples of modern practice? This would mean I think getting rid of the list aspects into subarticles; lists are either long and dominating or incomplete, so I favour getting them out of the article itself.

Things that must be mentioned? a) The Hippocratic Oath b)principles of informed consent and assent c) regulation - the GMC in UK; d)complementary and alternative medicines d) Flexnor report e) heroic medicine Gareth Leng 10:45, 24 November 2006 (CST)


Agree, needs plan and rewrite. Suggest short article introducing subject, then offering outline of all topics deserving separate articles. A really good organizational outline, one that logically organizes such disparate topics as: history of medicine; chinese medicine; preventive medicine; disciplines in medicine; veterinary medicine; etc.

A huge outline, but well organized for readers to hone in on subjects of interest.

Also, a huge undertaking. --TonySeb 17:57, 3 December 2006 (CST)
