why is the medical model so highly valued when it’s just a series of failed and incomplete models

I've seen people with a stroke lose complete loss of their arm & leg. Get thrombolysed then the next day their main symptom being pins and needles. Seems a pretty good reason to value it..

My conclusion is that society never stopped needing priests and witch doctors.

Hmm priests around my area aren't exactly know for healing people.

I took the trouble to re-read my comment to give you the bad news with a high confidence interval that you fundamentally misunderstood it. Feel free to read it again and replay again if you'd like.

Edit: Editted the original comment for clarity.
