The Modern Viewpoint
People over 45 are Moderns, mainly
Faith in Science to bring us to a bright future
We can KNOW thanks to the scientific method
Relentless Upward Progress
Many modernists believed that by rejecting tradition they could discover radically new ways of making art, architecture, etc..
Less Truth than there use to be, more truth than there use to be –
The death of Metanarratives and the rise of micronarratives
Truth is tested against standards accepted by the community a al Wikipedia, the democraticzation of the truth
A decline in hierarchy
From the Individual to Collaboration
A sense of things beyond science and analysis – Emotions!
The search for meaning and purpose
All this is amplified by technology, particularly, Social Media
Some Central Aspects of thePostmodern Worldview
PostModern Medicine
The Doctor
The Patient
“Doc, I have 3 Theories of what is wrong with me – what do you think?”
“Have you seen this article?”
From Quacks to Complimentary Medicine
“it’s about the subject rather then the illness, we must look at the patients subjectively, something physicians fail to do” - Dr. Saleem Razack, Assistant Dean of Admissions, McGill Faculty of Medicine
