medical epistemology that held
-
that knowledge in matters of healing
-
is derived from direct observation,
-
at the individual patient's bedside.
-
It's therefore often referred to,
-
as this first incarnation of a scientific medicine,
-
as bedside medicine.
-
The locus, the source of knowledge,
-
is at the bedside,
-
through empirical observation.
-
We know too that this had as a corollary
-
an educational program.
