Western medicine examined

Western medicine excels at crisis intervention and repair—setting broken bones, stopping infections, replacing failing organs—but often treats the body as a machine with interchangeable parts, missing the reality that healing emerges from the integration of mind, emotion, and spirit with physical treatment. The most skillful approach honors what medicine can offer while remaining humble about what it cannot measure or fix.
