CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — A recent incident at Adena Health System has intensified scrutiny of its cardiology department. A 65-year-old woman died during what should have been a routine heart catheterization, leading to pressing questions about the practices and credentials of the physicians involved. What happened after her time of death is concerning.
I don’t think we need to pivot to mechanics vs. doctors.
We can stay on subject without resorting to analogies that are never a 1:1 representation of the situation at hand.
What do you mean? It’s perhaps the most apt analogy I can think of. In the strictest literal sense, physiological care is a flesh mechanic servicing your flesh parts. The main difference here is a matter of scope, but that is the point of analogies; to reframe a thought in a smaller and comprehensible way.
Only way we could stay 1:1 is if the discussion is solely populated with qualified medical professionals and not a mix of differently educated laypeople.
Laypeople is the time-honored term unless you’re specifically referring to men. Although in certain religious contexts, “the laity” is preferred.
I absolutely agree, thank you for the spot check. Old dog got stuck in muscle memory before coffee. Editing.
