“Pret-a-Porte” vs. “Haute Couture” in the medical rehabilitation or Standardisation vs. Customization – is another point for thinking on.
History of medicine demonstrating a distinct shift from the individual approach to the mass market.
International Classification of Diseases, Medical Guidelines, regulations, timing, “optimization,”- for unification, increasing financial benefits, decreasing risks of medical errors. At the same time, we have a situation when modern healthcare throws the baby out with the bathwater.
